"6-12-04 A/C Install"
The Sanden 508 is a 5 cylinder, 138 cc A/C pump that takes R134, and consumes 20 hp less at wide open throttle. Its a fraction of the 2 cylinder 210 cc York's weight. It can high mount in the stock York a/c pump position.
Depending on engine mount and battery space with the Fox 3.3, you might be able to fit a low mount Sanden 508, but headers, the non EFI 1978-1983 battery position, and the forward mounted F150 4.9 six style engine mounts make it hard to package everything.

I'm putting air conditioning on my 200 six. It's a must in AZ, especially if you want to drive it like I plan to.
I'm pretty sure the A/C and alternator bracket I have is like this one: http://www.alangrovecomponents.com/Six_Cylinder_Ford.html
Here's a picture
Maybe this will help someone?
I was about to re-align the bracket to align both grooves in the AC with the waterpump and crank pulley. Then I saw that picture. Does that look OK to you guys? (I don't have power steering) but I do have a Classic Inlines stainless header. I think someone slightly modified the alternator mounting to clear the header.

Here's what it looks like in my build. Made some stand-offs to move the alternator away from the header. Came out pretty good! The longer belt needs to be about 1/2" shorter, but other than that, it's time to clean and paint.
It looks like the alternator is still sitting on the header. It's just the angle. There's 4" between them.
The available H2O pumps for the 144/170/200 come in two lengths. The shorter of the two is usually on cars with the early damper and a larger diameter single groove H2O pump pulley (or the extremely rare early short double pulley). The longer pump is from later years and is used with a double or triple groove, slightly smaller diameter, H2O pulley. Just by looking at the dampers and H2O pulleys you wouldn't think there was enough difference to matter. As it turns out, the larger late damper is just big enough to interfere with most early H2O pump pulleys. If you are trying to install the early pump in an effort to save fan space with A/C, using a late damper, there will be issues.
Using a "heavy duty" three core stock size radiator originally left me very little room for a fan, when using the long pump/pulley combo to run an A/C compressor. My fan choices that actually fit (barely) were the stock 4 blade or a cut down aluminum blade fan. Niether of which did the job when the A/C was on, although the cut down fan was the better of the two.

R U showing me the pumps to demonstrate how to convert a 3 bolt pump (144-200) to
a 250 (4 bolt)?
Thanks 4 stickin w/me!
