Is there such an animal as a Monte Carlo bar that will fit with an AC compressor?
I am installing my Classic Auto Air setup and it is no where close to clearing. The curved or the straight versions are no-go's.

So I was wondering if anybody had another solution because I would really like to keep that extra reinforcement, or a variant thereof, in place.

 

I used Vintage Air without any problems with a straight MC bar.

 

Crap. Always trust that little voice in your head. I damn near went with the Vintage setup but pulled the trigger on the Classic.

 

I'm assuming you are using a Sanden (or Sanden style) compressor? If so, the mounting brackets for the compressor shouldn't be that much different between the manufacturers.
