Where did you get the A/C bracket?
Thanks

The Clewett part of the serpentine was easy and took.care of the crank trigger at the same time. The rest I created.
I replaced the single tensioner pulley with a double idler on a custom bracket. The compressor mount (made on my mill) attaches to the air pump mount on the chain case. There is a rear mount on the chain case to engine case stud.
I made a custom cam oil line with a banjo fitting at the case end for clearance. The heater duct was also reshaped for compressor clearance.
It works great and really tucks the compressor out of view, along with having a very short belt run. It requires removing the distributor, of course, so coil packs or COP only.
Here is a picture during the sheet metal surgery of the heater duct:
