I am planning on buying a 65 if my 33 sells soon. I would be using a 1990 5.0 ford. I would like to order the FFR a/c unit but was wondering what prior builders used for a/c comp, brackets and alt brackets and such? Any help would be great. Thanks.TW

I have the North Racecars AC. I made my own AC and Alternator brackets. I wanted them to sit low on the engine and I could not find any commercial offerings that worked for me.

Here are links to both the AC bracket and the Alternator bracket

I went with Billet Specialties. They are a little pricey but seem to be the most compact and in my opinion the best looking. Their drive belt routing made running the upper radiator hose a little easier. http://www.billetspecialties.com/tru-trac-systems-and-brackets/

Thanks Bill. I used the same setup on my 33. I glad to hear it will work for the coupe as well.

FYI. I bought the relatively new Sport track serpentine system from March for SB ford. It is about 700 less than Billet Spec. Not as much bling but looks more correct for a race car look under the hood IMO. I'll post pics when I install it on my engine.

I have a system from WWW.c1pulleys.com. Very compact system.
