« on: August 04, 2009, 01:16:56 am »
I want to fix my a/c in my 1979 Chevy Silverado C-10 1500 it has a 305 i need to know what kind of compressor it needs and what kind of bracket it needs to place the compressor on there. If you have any ideas or pics of what it looks like please let me know i would really apreciate it. Thanks.

A factory air setup should have an A-6 compressor. Brackets should be a dime a dozen at the boneyard.

So the compressor would have to be an A-6 right?
And isnt there like a specific bracket for the compressor?

It could be an R4 also but it really doesn't matter since you obviously don't have the bracketry. Find a donor
