Hey mud. It’s been a while since I installed my VA kit. It works just fine, but there are a few things I don’t like about it about a year of use. Last week the bracket that holds the compressor and alternator broke in half. Don’t know why. When it broke it rammed the AC compressor into a rad hose and caused a coolant leak, which is how I found it all. The location of the alternator is so close to the battery that I have had to repair the alternator plug twice. The battery is moved all the way back, on the oem tray at least. I’m looking at mounting an oem compressor with oem mounts and plumbing it into the VA kit. I’m sure someone here has done this. Wondering about fitment. Specifically what you did about mating the AC hoses. Did you have custom ones made? Enjoy these pics of me glueing back together the bracket today .
