Truck (99-13) / Camaro (10-15) LS High and Tight AC Bracket

Mount the Sanden mini compressor “High and Tight.”

For LS engines with Truck/SUV (1999-2013) and Camaro (2010-15) crank pulley and water pump spacing.

A narrow AC bracket that mounts the “mini” Sanden SD7B10 (7176) compressor in front of the passenger’s side cylinder head.
The system is driven by one main 6-rib serpentine belt.

This configuration is perfect solution for LS swaps in:

• Early trucks (pre-1955)
• Jeeps
• Classic street rods (pre1948)

• Bracket made of 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum (brushed satin finish)
• All necessary spacers and zinc coated fasteners
• Automatic spring-style belt tensioner

• GM LS Gen 3 or 4 engine with Truck/SUV (1999-2013) or Camaro (2010-15) harmonic balancer and water pump
• Six-rib belt, See our included installation instructions for suggested lengths and Gates part numbers.
  • Complete Gates belt chart available here. GATES BELT CHART
  • Alternator rating and PS pulley diameters can change suggested lengths.
  • Always check tensioner marks for correct fitment.

  • View the Curved Manifold (Kwik Performance PN 342310).

• Properly engineered using OEM reference drawings
• Computer tested with FEA (finite element analysis) software
• Field tested on shop test engines and in real-world test vehicles
• Backed by a no-hassle warranty and return policy
• Tech support before, during and after the sale

• The short answer is yes!
• A proper capacity AC condenser is the real hero keeping you cool when it’s hot out there.
• The few exceptions to this would be 1960’s and later Suburbans and Station Wagons
  • Here is where you should start considering the larger compressor

• GM made a fantastic engine with the LS design, but they didn’t always put the accessories in the best location for us engine-swapping hotrodders.
  By locating the AC compressor in front of the passenger side cylinder head you solve the possible fender and frame clearance issues with vehicles such as:
  • Early trucks
    • Chevy Master (1933-42)
    • AK series (1941-47)
    • Advance Design (1947-55)
  • Jeeps
  • Early street rods (pre 1948)

• Many OEM AC compressors are a “variable displacement” design and don’t work well with older OEM or aftermarket AC systems
• The OEM compressors have a 4-groove pulley instead of the 6-groove needed when moving the compressor to a higher location
• Sanden is the aftermarket standard for AC compressors, recommended by most major AC manufacturers

Pictured above with the Kwik Performance Idler Relocation kit K10618 which allows you to use a low profile intake manifold and 2010+ Camaro water pump with OEM truck alternator/power-steering bracket.

Don't want to spend time modifying, cleaning and painting the OEM bracket? Our K10611 (also pictured) bracket allows you to reuse your alternator and truck "P-series" power steering pump. We also tucked the pump for added steering gear and A-arm clearance.

Consider pairing with our narrow Street Rod alternator/ (Type 2) power-steering bracket K10209 for those needing maximum side clearance

Alternatively, our Wide Mount alternator/ (Type 2) power-steering bracket K10168 allows more hood clearance and provides more steering gear / A-arm room.

• Check dimensions for fender clearance if application is early Truck or Street Rod.
