Though I would share a couple pics of the install I did of a York 210 Air Compressor onto a 5.0L..
I make a simple bracket to bolt the York onto the engine where the power steering pump used to be. It mounts between the top two a/c compressor bolts, and a tab down behind it to the head.
I cut the stock power steering bracket off of the drivers side, trimmed it down and welded it onto the passenger side underneath of the the alternator. Which fit great.
This kept the York pulley in the same location the power steering pump was, and conveniently relocated the power steering pump to have the belt pulled up between the lower idler pulley and the tensioner pulley with plenty of belt wrap on the ps pump.
I also moved the coilpack bracket over some for clearance, and then lowered it quite a bit mainly because I though it looked better..
After trying a few different belts I found the GATES K061187 was a perfect fit.
Pretty easy and very cheap way to add a great engine driven Air Compressor the 5.0L for air suspension or for offroading.
