High Mount AC Compressor Drive with Compressor for LS Engine Swaps
Fitting an LS block into a classic chassis often leaves minimal clearance for modern air conditioning and this drive assembly provides the higher mounting position needed to clear fuel rails and intake manifolds. Equipped with a seven-piston compressor and a lightweight aluminum pulley, it delivers steady cabin temperatures under all driving conditions. Installation hardware is included to simplify the swap on GM platforms and ensure exact belt alignment for smooth accessory operation. Each component is machined in the USA to guarantee consistent quality and durability.
Seven Piston Compressor Architecture for Even Cooling
The medium high mount compressor features seven pistons working in a balanced cycle to move refrigerant with minimal flow variation. This arrangement delivers uniform pressure pulses that maintain stable cabin temperatures, even under heavy load or in scorching conditions. By distributing workload across multiple pistons, the system achieves faster response times and fewer thermal spikes after engine start. Drivers benefit from immediate comfort without common hotspots or lag in cooling performance.
Precision Machined Aluminum Construction and Weight Management
Each component of the assembly is crafted from high grade aluminum that combines rigidity with minimal mass. The custom billet pulley resists fatigue at high belt tension while the housing design sheds unnecessary pounds that can dull throttle response. This careful material choice helps the engine react more eagerly and preserves handling dynamics in classic chassis applications. All parts are machined in the USA to maintain tight tolerances and consistent performance.
Engine Bay Integration and Serpentine Belt Dynamics
The high mount position is engineered to clear fuel rails and intake manifolds on LS block installations, creating essential space for modern air conditioning. Precise alignment of pulley grooves ensures smooth belt tracking and reduces the risk of slip or noise during operation. This optimization eases strain on the crank balancer and extends accessory life. By matching existing GM platform geometry, installers achieve accurate tension and belt path on the first try.
Complete Hardware Package for Hassle Free Installation
All necessary brackets, bolts and spacers are included to support a straightforward swap process on familiar GM powertrains. Each fastener is selected for strength and corrosion resistance to hold the compressor assembly securely in place under tough driving conditions. Clearances are preset at the factory, removing guesswork and saving valuable installation time. The result is a turnkey solution that integrates seamlessly without additional fabrication or modification.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable cooling performance in your LS swap.
