What bracket are you guys using for the Ac & p/s pump? Went to install the one I had from a mid 90's F150 and the bottom of the p/s pump is hitting the top of the steering box.

Make life easier and put an entire Explorer FEAD on the engine. It makes a lot of things easier--like space between the fan and radiator, P/S pump up high,etc.

Well, I didn't want to mess with purchasing the Explorer FEAD and changing the timing chain cover etc. so I tried to find something that would work. First I tried a mustang bracket that put the p/s pump high and the A/c pump low, but the a/c casting hit the gearbox, so I designed my own bracket and had it lasered out. Basically I moved the p/s pump up and over to clear the gear box. Will install and test this weekend. Also had to make spacers and get longer bolts to make it work. I'll update with pictures after i get everything installed.

Here is the stock bracket from an F150, and what I cut off, and the new bracket.






And here is the modified bracketery installed. Only thing not shown in the picture is the new bolts I had to pick up for the p/s pump. THe new steel p/s pump bracket is 1/4" thick and the oem cast aluminum one was over 1//2" thick. With the new bracket, the pump fits perfectly and doesn't hit the gear box., now I just have to install the pulley and pick up a belt.
