Running Headers With A/C?
Hi all, I am in the process of replacing the dogged old 350 from my '72 Vette with a new 383. The car is stock A/C, and I plan to keep it that way. My problem is that I am also making the move to headers and side pipes, which I think I may have some possible issues with concerning the mounting of the A/C since it seems to be mounted to the manifold on the rear currently. I'm not entirely certain of the brand of headers I will go with, but for this circumstance I don't think that plays a huge role; after looking around, it seems that this - https://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker+Header...10926/10002/-1 - may be what is needed to mount A/C with headers. Is this correct? And if so is this all that will be needed to have the A/C completely mounted?

Headers with A/C
My '76 had headers with the stock A/C system and it used a bracket similar the one in your link. I no longer have that car but I'll see if I have any pics showing the set up. My set up worked fine.
