LT1 swap into '89RS

Helping a friend swap a'94 model LT1 into a '89 RS body,had a TBI 305.Engine
came from someone that had put it in a street rod.Found an accessory bracket from a '96 fleetwood.Will this bracket work?If so what A/C compres-
sor to use?Also the water pipe nipples have been removed from water pump,
would it be best to replace pump or try and route heater coolant some other
way.What would be best coolant surge tank to use?I saw a thread on using
stock radiator that I will try to use.Any advise will be appreciated.

i dont know what you mean by what ac compressor to use, you only have 2 options, the ac compressor from the lt1, or an ac delet pulley, you must run one or the other

for you to keep the ac compressor you have to take a ball peen hammer to your cross member, slight modification

if you want to keep heat, i suggest replacing the water pump if you cant replace the water pipe nipples

Thanks for the reply,I wasn't sure if the accessory bracket from the fleet-wood was the same or not.I saw other threads about wiring & cooling system
but none where they didn't have the bracket.I'm sure he will want A/C,so I'll
need to roud up a compressor.thanks again.
