The 1gr compressor will not protrude any further forward than the alternator and at least it will be mounted securely, like stock, not jimmy-rigged.

Another thing to consider is 2gr pulleys and belt are 7-ribbed. Spyder pulleys (assuming this is a Spyder compressor you are trying to use) have six ribs.

Finally, my tools came in. I should get some progress done if this 2nd pfizer dose doesn't knock me out this weekend.

My thug life a/c kit is complete. Time to start building this weekend. Might purchase a miller 220 and do my own runners and x pipe

Sorry progress has been slow. My job authorized overtime for the summer. Had an issue with the threads on the heads. If you've had a problem with internal threads or are generally trash at threading like me get the NES 1025 kit and the mini kit. bolts go in easy and snug.

Got some work done and its all downhill from here. Only other major obstacles are the axles and axle carrier. I will cross that bridge when I get there.

Lucky enough, I didn't have to file the rings. Everything was within spec. Pistons are assembled and going in the block in the morning.

I got one piston in, then the cheap tool broke.
