Apologies in advance if this has been discussed already, I've tried searching everywhere for a diagram or photo reference and have come up short. I recently bought a base model 1989 C2500 Cheyenne/Fleetside with a 6.2 diesel paired with a TH400 and pretty much no options. The powertrain is surprisingly solid for being a municipality work truck its whole life and still manages to get around 19 MPG on the highway. Its actually a nice change of pace having a truck that just simply works compared to having to worry about windows or locks not working.
Which leads me to my one complaint about the truck. I live in South Texas, and air conditioning is pretty much a necessity here. Unfortuantely, I have no idea where the compressor can be fitted. I believe the older v belt accessory drive had a provision for it, but the serpentine belt drive like I have says nothing about it. The only thing I can think of, is its supposed to mount where the vacuum pump is and I'm guessing thats only there to run the TH400.
Any help is appreciated, and I'm open to any and all tips or suggestions including vintage air systems (if a compressor bracket is available, which i havent seen) or even a 12 volt unit if one fits.
