Ric,

I may have a Tiico AC compressor/Alternator bracket. I bought it from a
listmember when I was doing my I-4 conversion. Eventually, I settled for an
A2 (v-belts system) later A3 serpentine pulley systems. You can get any of
those from a Golf or Jetta. There will be some minor deck clearance issues.
Even with the A3 sytem, the alternator sticks up slightly. Tiico brackets
clear but some had trouble with cracking the bracket over time.
