Looks like I need to replace my compressor. I've gotten pricing locally and looks like about $450 out the door. But on Jegs, they're listing Sanden models 7176 and 508 for $262. I've heard Sanden is a pretty decent manufacturer so if either would fit, I'll go that way. Sure as hell ain't impressed with whatever Delco is using.
 
I cant remember the maker, but in '88, the C4 vettes went to a Sanden/Sankyo/sanyo? something compressor, every one I seen since LOOKS similar....not that I pay all that much attention....

two styles I seen, the 4 ear pattern on the front/back plate, mounted to brackets in some fashion....and the 4 bolt lateral two in front and two in back...through the case, I think...

anyway, compared to the A6 or R4 they are a dream....I understand a rip off of the A6 design....
so I would stick with them.....

If it's the LS1 compressor mounted low on the passenger side, the mounts are pretty specific for LS mounts. I'm pretty sure it's also a variable displacement so a positive displacement wont work.
Check out Rock Auto, they usually have pretty good prices.
