5.3 swap, need help with fuel tank question

[Houston Ben]

Hi AJ,
Is that the original drier for a 85 chevy? also, where can I get the hoses to attach to the compressor if I go with a top mount?

Thanks guys!

 

[AJII]

Yep. That's the original drier.

Hoses I had custom made at a local hose shop. ~55 each.

Uhhhh maybe I am not looking at that pic right but isn't the air inlet facing the wrong way. How does it go into the engine if the opening is facing the fan shroud?

 

[AJII]

Huh?

Hey AJ, I have another question on the Holley A/C bracket. Do you remember what part numbers you needed? I see I need Partn number 20-134 but it also says I need part number 21-3 but 21-3 sounds like it comes with spacing for the a/c, p/s, and alt, all I need is the a/c one so wont part number 21-1 suffice?

If you could, please let me know what you got

Thanks,

Ben

If you run any rubber line, insist on SAEJ30R9, Also, i believe the 2011 system is regulated at the tank, you may will have to rig up a return line to work with the 87 tank. I dont think the fuel rails from an '11 has a return provision, so you can get an adjustable regulator to mount back by the tank, which will only require a short return line.

You'll need 21-3 as well. It comes with the specific brackets that work with truck accessories.

He'll just use the vette filter which has a regulator built into it I'm guessing.

Thanks for the help guys!! Forgive my ignorance on this, it is very new to me.

Never heard of that...makes for an exspensive filter.

They aren't bad. About $33 or so from RockAuto.

Thanks,
