I drilled the first hole in the weldment and the new plate, putting a bolt through the two. Then, I used a clamp to ensure the weldment’s top plate would be level and drilled the other hole. I measured the compressor position that would place the two pulley grooves in-plane with the grooves at the front of the damper’s bolt-on pulley extension (with the replacement damper and the extension, I had a total of five grooves available). I marked where the compressor holes needed to be, made spacers from black pipe, drilled the holes, and bolted the compressor to the platform with threaded rod and thread-locked nuts.

The compressor was in a fixed position, so I knew I would need a way to tension the long belts that would be in this location. I had saved the tensioner from the Chevy V-8, and made some modifications to it. I put a pair of pulleys from Rural King on it and mounted it to a plate cut from 3/8” steel that mounted on the front of the power steering pump’s beefy housing. I had to play with the detent that would set the tension, but when I found the right position I drilled it out and everything mounted up perfectly.
