what does taking the a/c compressor out have to do with the drivers side?

are you having trouble with the brackets mounting to the block? or actual motor mounts? lining up on the body or in the mount?

do you have the super brackets or regular brackets?

what exactly "doesn't fit"?

do the holes line up? or you just cant get it in place?

need more info than "they don't fit"!

it was in the wat to attach the bracket.. the oversized bracket attaching to the motor.. i can get it to somewhat line up but then there are 1 or two bolts holes that dont line up and also i'll have to shim it to get it to set flush

what is your a/c compressor doing on the drivers side? or do you have your sides mixed up?

do i have to assume you have the super brackets?
