Streamlined LS Swap Cooling with High Mount AC Drive

Optimized for LS engine conversions, the High Mount AC Compressor Drive pairs a seven piston compressor with billet aluminum construction to ensure perfect alignment on short balancer engines and powerful cooling under extreme heat. Designed for GM models and LS swaps, it boosts accessory drive efficiency to reduce maintenance and features premium American craftsmanship.

High Mount AC Compressor Drive and Compressor for LS Engine Swaps

Fitting an air conditioning compressor in a tight LS swap bay often ends in clearance issues and the High Mount AC Compressor Drive w/Compressor - Short solves that by relocating the unit above the factory accessory plane. By raising the assembly it achieves precise belt alignment with existing pulleys and maintains proper tension without altering block accessories. Installation uses factory mounting points on GM V8 engines for a straightforward fit on short balancer applications. The billet aluminum housing manages heat and vibration while the integrated seven piston compressor delivers consistent cabin cooling under all driving conditions.

Seven Piston Compressor for Consistent Cooling

The integrated seven piston compressor divides refrigerant flow across multiple chambers, maintaining stable pressure and preventing temperature spikes in the evaporator core. This approach delivers uniform cabin comfort during stop-and-go traffic and sustained highway runs, all while reducing internal vibration for quieter operation. Riders notice fewer cold spots even under heavy load, thanks to the compressor's ability to react quickly to varying cooling demands. Its design also helps protect seals and internal components from thermal stress, extending service intervals.

Billet Aluminum Housing for Heat Management

Machined from solid billet aluminum, the housing offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. Heat generated by the compressor is rapidly conducted away, safeguarding lubricants and seals against premature breakdown. Meanwhile, the rigid structure resists deformation under vibration, ensuring pulley alignment remains precise over time. These properties combine to deliver reliable performance in harsh engine bay conditions without adding unnecessary mass.

Elevated Mounting to Clear Short Balancer Engines

The precision-engineered high mount shifts the compressor above the factory accessory plane, making room for short balancer setups on LS swapped platforms. This relocation aligns the belt perfectly with existing pulleys, eliminating the need for crank spacers or block modifications. Installation is straightforward: the assembly bolts directly to factory mounting points on GM V8 engines using supplied hardware. Technicians benefit from reduced labor and a clean engine bay layout that preserves under-hood access.

Smoothed Accessory Drive to Cut Wear and Drag

By optimizing belt line geometry, this drive system minimizes side load on compressor and alternator shafts, cutting down on premature bearing failure. Improved alignment means the belt tracks true, reducing the risk of slippage or edge fray over time. It also places less demand on the crank pulley, which can yield slight fuel economy gains and lower strain on the crankshaft. Overall, users gain extended component life and more dependable accessory performance under all driving conditions.

Reliable cooling and precise belt alignment deliver peace of mind for your LS swap project.
