I have searched the forum and online but no specific answers.

I have pulled the Buick 231 v6 that was in my Omega. The A/C was updated and was operating great in it. I am swapping a Olds 330 in. Can I retain the A/C and swap to the 330? If so, what parts do i need to make it work? Do I just need 330 A/C brackets? Can I use 350 brackets? I need to purchase new fuel pump and water pump for the 330 is there any specific parts I or specs I need to keep an eye for?

Does the Omega use the large A6 compressor or the smaller R4 compressor? The brackets need to match the compressor. Also, the Olds motor mounts the compressor high on the passenger side. I don't know where the V6 mounts it, but the hoses may need to be changed. Of course, the water pump and pulleys used on the 330 need to match the brackets used on the compressor. The 330 is externally identical to all SBOs, so I'd recommend using the brackets from a later 350 that are compatible with your A/C compressor.

I'm sure you already know that you need to get the correct frame mounts and matching motor mounts for an Olds motor.

The compressor is a ACDelco 88964867. Looks to be a R4 compressor.
