S10 LS Accessory Drives, 1982-2004 2WD

Accessory drives for LS swaps in 1982-2004 2WD S-10, S-15 and Sonoma pickups. The S10 guide is blunt: the stock low mount A/C compressor will not work without heavy frame work, and high mount accessories are a must. BRP lists three Short balancer drives for this truck.

S10 accessory notes from the guide

Factory LS F-Body and GTO accessory systems cannot be used in the S10.
Camaro and truck LS accessories sit further forward and interfere with the radiator and fan.
For radiator room the guide suggests a Corvette harmonic balancer and water pump.
The S10 kit is built around the BRP LH8 oil pan.
Fitting BRP headers means pulling the steering shaft to get the driver side header in.

S10 LS accessory drive FAQ

Can I keep low mount A/C on an LS swapped S10?

Not without heavy frame modifications, per the S10 guide. It says high mount accessories are required.

Will my Camaro or truck LS accessory drive fit an S10?

The guide says Camaro and truck accessories stick out further and cause radiator and fan interference, and F-Body or GTO systems cannot be used.

Why does this S10 page only list Short drives?

BRP lists only the Short balancer length drives for the S10. The guide suggests a Corvette balancer and water pump, but no BRP source ties that to a drive length.

Does the High Mount A/C drive include a compressor?

Yes. The High Mount AC Compressor Drive w/Compressor - Short comes with the compressor.
