Description

Sanden Mini AC Compressor Bracket for Chevy LT Gen 5 Truck Engines (L84, L87, L8T, 2020+) with centered water pump

Here’s how to add a fixed-displacement AC compressor to your late-model Chevy Gen 5 truck engine in a way that saves space and is easy on your swap budget.

You get to keep your factory balancer, water pump, alternator and belt tensioner.  We add a bracket that mounts a Sanden Mini compressor tucked in close on the passenger side of the engine.

The Sanden Mini (SD7B10) is compatible with aftermarket and most older OEM AC systems.  It has plenty of capacity for any vehicle up to a large station wagon or Suburban.

This bracket system can be run with a factory L8T bracket and power steering pump, or the one we like best, a Kwik Performance bracket that mounts a P-Series GM style pump. See part number K10755. 

 

Note: 

The water pump housing must have a machined surface on the passenger’s side of the casting to accept an L8T belt tensioner. The following casting numbers can be found on the face of the water pump housing: 12383468, 12687631, 12707680, 12708893.

 

Some 1500 pickups with 5.3L and 6.2L engines (L82 L84 and L87) have the centered water pump but did not use a spring-loaded tensioner and therefore the casting was not machined. For example, some, but not all of casting number 12383468 are machined.

All 6.6L (L8T) engines use a spring-loaded tensioner and will have the correct water pump, casting number 12707680.

FAQs

Q:  Why can’t I use the factory AC compressor?

A:  The OEM compressor on Gen 5 LT engines is a variable-displacement design and doesn’t play well with aftermarket AC systems or with older factory systems like you will find in typical muscle cars and C10 and OBS pickups.  A Sanden fixed displacement compressor relies on a simple switch to engage the compressor clutch.

Q: Does the Sanden Mini have enough capacity to cool my vehicle?

A: Yes, with the exception of large station wagons, or Suburbans or a vehicle with dual AC systems.  It is important that the rest of the AC system, especially the condenser and fan, are properly sized.  Read more about compressor capacity here: https://www.kwikperf.com/blogs/news/sanden-ac-compressors-hd-or-mini

Q: Will this bracket work with a 2014-2019 L83 or L86 engine?

A: Yes, if you switch to the later centered water pump mentioned above. Otherwise, we offer a combination bracket, K10742, that mounts the Sanden Mini compressor and a Type 2 power steering pump on L83 and L86 engines from 2014-2019. If you need more AC capacity for your L83/L86, we also offer K10702 which uses the larger Sanden HD compressor and a Type 2 power steering pump.

Q: Do I have to run a hydraulic power steering pump?

A: No, L84 and L87 engines have an idler pully on the driver's side that will allow the correct belt routing. However, these engines used a stretchy belt without a tensioner. Our system will require a tensioner to be added to these engines as mentioned earlier.
