Default a/c delete bracket question

I am looking for an ac delete bracket and and found one at jegs for a camaro LT1 will it work on my 92 vette or do I have to pay double for the other bracket? Are there any other brands other than TPIS? And does anyone know the actual horsepower gain after installing.

I doubt it.
The F-body compressor mounts with 3 bolts from the front and the Vette one with 4 bolts from the side

The actual horspower gain will be minimal because in the off position, the ac pully has no drag. Performance increase will be from the weight decrease of the compressor, hoses and condensor if you go that route.

I got the TPIS from DRM when they were first announced. Very nice piece and worked perfectly on my 92.
My AC didn't work from the day I bought it, since removal was a "free" mod in both the groups I run with I took out the compressor, lines and condenser. Makes it easy to see if there is any trash up in the radiator
