Hello I am hoping to install a York 210 compressor in my 1985 f250 6.9idi for on board air does any one know what parts I need?

Some steel and a welder 
My truck came with AC, but a PO removed it so I'm planning to fab something to bolt my York to the factory bracket. Not sure where you could mount it with the AC compressor in place. Real estate is at a prime with these big V blocks.

I'm planning on removing the AC unit could I put it there?

That's what I'll be doing. I'm still not 100% on how it'll get done. The mounting holes for the compressor will need to be milled (elongated) and a adjuster fabbed up for belt tensioning. Since you still have the sheet metal for the factory compressor it may be easier to make a bracket. The offroad guys say it's best to mount them as upright as possible to keep the oil from the case out of the airflow, but it might have to be mounted at an angle. I'll try to remember to grab my York Monday and take some pics for you with it and the factory AC bracket.

It mounts the York on its side. It was a dealer install AC bracket that use the York instead of the sanden (sp?) style compressor.

And this bracket would replace the original AC bracket to mount York?

That one bolts onto the factory aluminum mount, if I remember right.

Where could a person get one of these?

Ok thanks!
Same idea but that one is nice.the one I saw was cobbled up,bad welds and mounted the compressor off kilter so the belt would squeel

These things are freggin' rare. That is one towcat has. I've looked many times on ebay and searched the corners of the interwebs to find a prefabbed bracket for the IDI other than the one in the pic with no luck. I've just resolved to Mao one myself. Luckily my dad has a milling machine.

Here's about how I plan to mount mine. I don't have the hood on so I can't verify clearance, but the line of sight between the cowl and the core support looks promising. Ideally, I'd like to stand it straight up, but it didn't look like it would clear the underside of the hood.
