Has anyone installed the Sanden AC compressor and bracket /hose kit from Applied for the *455*? I put mine in today, but it's not even close to how the Sanden people recommend the install. They were showing spacers all over, but on my install I only used one spacer. Also they showed the tension bracket on the other side of the compressor than that is shown on the Applied website. But this must be GMC specific.
Everything is hooked up, but I haven't ran the engine yet to make sure the belts don't spin off. And I'm not going to spin up the clutch until I get freon in it.
So I quess I'm looking for someone who has already installed the kit, to make sure I haven't screwed up the install. Spacers? Or tension bracket placement.
To me it looks to be a big improvement ovet the A6 unit that I had to replace 2 times over the last 3 years. And with this redesigned bracket, I can actually change out the valve cover gaskets without pulling off the AC bracket and compressor!
Thanks,
Scott.
