What are my options for air conditioner compressor mount options? 99 k2500 to 03 5.3 swap, I have the original 7.4 compressor on hand.

She's got factory 4:11's rear locker, with a 4180E, Should work very well for my application, first truck I ever wheeled was a 50 flathead 3 on the floor ford, then a 56 chevy 6, 3 on the tree. Had a 56 2 ton with the 6 cylinder 4 speed x 2 speed axle, got good mileage and plenty of power. But thanks, will check that link out pronto.5.3L is going to be a gutless pig in that truck. I hope you have boost planned for it.
I tried to link to Amazon. They have an ac bracket for a LS in the GMT400 that uses the stock vortec compressor.

I have never been a fan of that setup for two reasons. Making the compressor the lowest point in the system greatly contributes to hydroslugging and that tensioner has never been a great design. On several trucks and SUV, I took a page from GMs playbook, deleted the tensioner and used the stretch fit belt. If the compressor is the lowest point in the system, I put a deslugger on it to protect it.ICT is working with me to make a low mount that uses the 4 rib pulley, like the 03 original, hopefully it will work out. Much prefer to keep the ac compressor mounted in the OE position and use the belt/idler like OE.
