Early A-Body with A/C

Go with a high mount A/C compressor drive. The compressor is included, and the guide requires a high mount A/C bracket here.

Early A-Body without A/C

A high mount alternator and power steering drive keeps the frame clear. Pick the w/Pump drive if you have no pump yet.

Early A-Body guide notes for the engine front

High mount A/C and alternator accessory brackets are required to clear the frame.
The BRP High Clearance oil pan sits flush with the bottom of the front crossmember.
An LH8 oil pan hangs about 1.5 inches below that crossmember.
For header installs, the starter, valve covers or spark plugs may need to come out.

Ordering the right early A-Body drive

With A/C: a high mount A/C compressor drive.
Without A/C and with a pump: the alternator and power steering drive.
Without A/C or a pump: the w/Pump drive.

1964-1967 A-Body LS accessory drive FAQ

Do I need high mount accessories for an LS in a 1964-1967 Chevelle or GTO?

Yes. The 1964-1967 A-Body guide says high mount A/C and alternator accessory brackets are required to clear the frame.

Will a low mount A/C compressor fit a 1964-1967 A-Body LS swap?

The guide only allows high mount A/C brackets on this chassis, so plan on a High Mount AC Compressor Drive w/Compressor.

Does the early A-Body w/Pump drive include a power steering pump?

Yes. The three Alternator and Power Steering Drive w/Pump versions include the pump; the base drives do not.

How do I pick the drive length for my 1964-1967 A-Body?

Pick by balancer length. BRP does not list which LS engines take Short, Medium or Long, so check your own balancer.
