A/C unit for an LS1 conversion?
Right now I am still in the dreaming/planning phase of a possible LS1 transplant into my 1981 C3 Vette. Has anyone done an LS1 conversion and able to retain the A/C unit? If not, might scrap those plans and stick with the SBC engine and go from there...

Only know of one done locally and he went with Vintage Air in his '68.

There is a bracket available that allows you to use the original AC compressor. Search the LS1 swap thread and you'll find some pics.
