Default AC compressor Brackets

I want to install my AC compressor however the previous owner installed headers that will not allow the attachment of the factory AC brackets to the engine. Normally one of the brackets is attached to the same front 2 manifold bolts on the passenger side and the headers do not allow the attachment of this bracket.
Does anyone know of any manufacturer/s that has a custom bracket that will fit my needs?
Thanks

I couldn't find any information on your car so I can't be specific. If you have the long compressor all of the vendors have the bracket. I got mine from Summitt part # WLK-88304. If you have the short compressor, you simply need to create a spacer that is the thickness of the stock exhaust manifold.

Based on your description, #1 seems to be the answer.

You need to modify the bracket and add spacers for correct alignment.

I'm workin on this also.
