on cars that came with dealer installed AC, did it have the same bracket as the factory cars that had both the PS and the AC tensioner on it?



im ditching PS, but I want to keep the AC, I would like to lose that monster bracket



anyone have any input?

 

There are 2 different brackets for cars with a/c and no PS. The sanden and nippondenso have different bolt patterns. In either case, thats the bracket you want. It small and only has a single idler pulley.

 

Is there a bracket for cars with PS (speed sensing aka S5TII) with no AC?

I did, he was too busy eating out General Tso to answer me

 

I've got an a/c bracket, w/ no p/s, already in a box to be shipped (someone wanted it then changed their mind). So there are 2 different kinds? How do I know what kind mine is, and if you can use it?

I think the easiest way is to measure the distance between the 4 bolt holes that bolt the a/c compressor to the bracket. The nippondenso and the sanden have a slightly different bolt pattern.

 

I'll crack that box open and take a measurement tonight.

 

I tried to measure from center of hole to center of hole, and got 5 1/16" by 3 1/16" (give or take a sixteenth).



I have 2 of these (both are the same size), so if anyone else is interested let me know.
