help i am installing a vintage airsystem on a non air 1967 olds 442 what is the best way to mount the a/c pump

From what I've seen, this is kind of a pain. The Vintage Air non-AC olds engine bracket kit put the compressor on the left side of the engine, above the power steering pump. The pump location and housing are slightly different 67 to 68. I do not believe this will work on a 67 due to clearance issues. My recommendaton to the last one I know who tried this was to get the factory A/C bracket kit from Vintage Air along with the factory A/C pulleys and brackets from a 66-67. I think 330 or 400 brackets and pulleys will work, but I have not tried this personally. My car is a 67 330 Cutlass and had factory air to start with. In that configuration, the compressor and brackets fit just fine.

Welcome to the site, post some pictures of your car when you get time. You may pose this question to Vintage Air and see if they have an accessory relocation kit available. If not you may have to mix and match as Tim said.

will looks like i am going to get the vintage air bracket for the pass side and find a bracket to move the alternator to the drivers side next to power steering pump as it is on a factory air car do you know anyone that has the alternator bracket

Sounds best, especially if Nick has the parts you need. Plus you can route all the hoses and lines behind the inner fender instead of across the engine for a cleaner install. VA's solution for non-AC cars with the bracket on the drivers side is not the prettiest, at least on the '68-'72's.
