John,
What was the General's thought process for mounting the A/C compressor on the driver's side? I have wondered about that for years...it just never made any logical sense to me having the hoses draping all across the engine. Curious minds just want to know...thanks.

I've had the car 47 years. Its a 327 +.030. The case and heads are the numbers matching "born with" castings but they have been preped. Forged chevy crank. CR down to 9.8 in late 70's for the bad gas. Ported heads with valve seat inserts. Current cam is Comp hydraulic flat tappet about 230* and .470 lift. Hooker side pipes with custom vettepack insert. Converted the Rochester EFI after 35 years using 85 mm throttle body. L88 flywheel. Canton 7 qt pan.
New motor under construction is all aluminum dry sump 401 with AFR comp ported 195s
