Awesome job, LTZ C20. I like the look, and the space, the serpentine belt set up gives you.
Now, You said both the in & out hoses on the condenser are on the drivers side top. Same as my 77. What I want to do is rotate the condenser horizontally so the fittings for those hoses are now on the passenger side top and re-bend, or remake,  the tubes so they come out in front of the compressor. That way there's no hoses crossing in front of the motor. Everything A/C related would be on the passenger side.
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Thank you very much! Yea I really love it. Was goin for that old school muscle look but with modern reliability. Plus, to change the ONE belt is like a 1 minute job. As opposed to 30 min with THREE belts. I will post better pics when the a/c is done, my dual snorkel air cleaner is built and I wash the engine bay. Right now it's dustier then the Beverly hillbillies truck.

When you flip the condenser, keep in mind this. The pipes that are on the radiator side are only cross over pipes. The condenser in/out pipes stop directly before crossing thru sheet metal.

There might be a way, to re-attach or re-orient those crossover pipes so they point out on the right side of the radiator. Because I believe if you flip them now as-is, they will point out the front of the grille and passing tow trucks will think it's a jumper cable attachment. Haha. :P

Ya, pointing out the grill wouldn't be good. lol. My plan is to re-bend, or remake, those cross over lines so they point back at the engine. But now they would be on the passenger side.

That sounds like a good plan.
