Default 82 AC Compressor
I have a few questions about the AC compressor that is currently on my 82.
Is it original?
Are the brackets the correct ones? The pulley does not line up with the fan and crank pulley.
The spacer was a socket that was ground down, I replaced it with a proper spacer but have no clue how long it should be.






Thanks
JT

@Golfobsessed can you measure the length of the spacer between the compressor and the bracket? Mine looks too long.

Did Bubba work for GM in 82?
