Here's a Kwik and easy solution to your LSx engine swap AC compressor problems

You may have clearance issues with the frame or crossmember. That's especially true for
chassis such as S-10s, early Camaros and Chevelles, and many full size Chevy pickups.
You may be concerned about the LSx "variable displacement" compressor being
compatible with your earlier factory AC system or with an aftermarket system.

Here's how to solve those problems:

Use an aftermarket compressor like the popular Sanden.
Mount it with a bracket kit from Kwik Performance, Inc., available in three different versions:
Corvette; 98-02 Camaro & Firebird/GTO; and truck/2010-11 Camaro.
