Are you looking for something like this. This is off of a 89 Comanche that was A/C delete.

The pulley bracket by itself.

The bracket mounted on the accessory mount that also holds the alternator, idler pulley, and the mechanical fan.

Winston where the heck did you get that? I looked for 3 months and couldn't find one to fit a 87-90. I stuck an old compressor on there just for the pulley when my seized.

Was pillaging the local jy a couple of weeks ago and found it in a 89 Comanche. All I pulled at first was the A/C delete bracket. Then realized that I needed the lower bracket as well, so bigomudders pulled it for me when he was there yesterday. The difference in that bracket and my stock 91 bracket is the Renix era compressor has 2 bolts that run front to back to mount it. HO era compressors mount with 4 bolts from the top.

Man your lucky...These things are not manufactured I even emailed few companies who make pulleys and they told me there not available, and I have never seen one at the JY. Good find!

In order to use it on a 95 you will need the lower bracket as well due to the mounting holes for the upper bracket. Give me a few minutes and I'll get you some pics of the difference.

Here is the difference in the Renix and HO compressor mounts.
Renix, on the right, 2 bolts front to back
HO, on the left, 4 bolts from the top.

Like Skreed said, if you find one from a 91+, it will be a direct bolt on.

I didn't either until I realized the A/C delete bracket would not mount to my 91. I would have taken the lower bracket from the 87 junker, but the engine in it was from a 94 which is why I have the extra HO bracket. Thankfully the MJ was still on the jy lot so my brother could snag the lower bracket for me.
