AC & PS brackets...

[alec84k2500]

My truck was what I'll call "stripped" down when I bought it.  That's the PC way of putting it.  Moving on though...I'm in the process of putting it back together and I'm looking for any and all pictures of mid '80's (or any other year for that matter) sb 350 with the above metioned items.  The current power steering pump looks like a ford unit...that'll give you an idea of what I'm dealing with!  I do have an AC truck but of course the compressor, brackets, and lines no long exist nor does the the item in front of the radiator...condenser?  It does have all the stuff mounted on the firewall so it's really just a matter of me gathering all the correct brackets, a compressor, lines, and several new items that go into refitting the AC.

I am in need of pictures so that I can figure where and how these brackets mount...plus I'd like to get the power steering pump situation fixed too.  My truck will be in the garage all winter as I replace all the rusted sheet metal and bring this thing back to life!

I love the threads here!  They have some great information, and now that I'm coming home from deployment, I'll be able to get the ball going!  Here's a big THANKS in advance for all the questions I'll have coming this winter!  Happy Holidays!

First, Thanks for your service.

Someone may be able to take some pictures for you, I can't. Mine is a big block and wouldn't help that much. But, these things are still pretty common junk-yard finds. That would be a good source for everything you need. GM Performance Parts also has a serpentine kit that would give you every peice you need. New. Water pump, pwr steering, ac, alt, pulleys and brackets, not cheap though. I am considering the kit for my truck since I can't find the time to both scrounge and tinker.

If you have nothing in the way of A/C stuff, I would consider upgrading to a new style Sanden compressor.  http://www.alangrovecomponents.com have brackets for this and everything else.

BTW, welcome to the site.

Check my post here.  If that doesn't help, I'll see what other pics I can dig up.
