Sanden compressor on a Nailhead

[EZ Cool]

May not be the prettiest install but definitely the cheapest. I bought a universal u-weld bracket with my  Vintage air system and used it to build my own bracket utilizing an extra AC Alt bracket I had laying around. Here are the results. I decided to use two separate belts instead of the pair like factory. Independently adjustable and better belt wrap on the pulleys.

Nice job!

Dear EZ Cool, Michael, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Congrats on the bracket solution!    Please to keep us posted on the other aspects of your Vintage Air install!

Cheers, Edouard

Looks good and having AC is a must on tours and hot weather states.

Yes! Pictures of install would be great as a reference!

Here's a pic of the back side of the bracket

This post may be more at home in another category because its not Nailhead specific but since I started here I'm staying here.

After getting much good advice from others I bought a Vintage air GTO  direct fit unit for our '65 Skylark. In order to make it fit it was necessary to cut off some of the defroster duct. Instead of removing it entirely, which would be a big hassle, I opted to just trimming enough to clear then I capped off the bottom side then added a couple of tubes to hook the defroster hoses to. Not the prettiest job but its all hidden anyway.

No worries.  On a small forum like this we will be able to find this information easily.

Actually it is a much nicer solution than following the Vintage Air instructions and using their own ducting which is what my wagon has.  Since all this is hidden anyway, it is the functionality that counts and the defogger will work better in your arrangement.  Congrats and thanks for sharing!
