Default New sanden ac compressor bracket
I am going to put a modern sanden Ac compressor on my 1975 coupe. Any suggestions for brackets? Car has headers and side pipes already.

I used Allen Grove brackets for my sanden compressor. Headers are not a problem with them.

I'll second that. I'm running the same and I know a few others that are as well.

This one, and the one I know everyone is running.

And the belt I run is a 11A1450 .
And it'll all fit nicely under a stock hood.

If your compressor is the same Sanden used by Vintage Air, they have a plain steel set of brackets that works pretty good.

(Ignore the Bubba-fied OEM bracket on top the air cleaner)

I used an Allen Grove bracket, but you are going to need a rear port compressor to make it fit. Getting a rear port manifold and the fittings was the hardest part for me.

My brackets don't attach to the exhaust. Mine has 1 bracket against the head which bolts to rear mounts on the compressor along with the bracket attached to the water pump.
