so i'm in the middle of installing the sr, almost have the motor mounts in, then realize that my ac compressor does not line up with the mounting plate on my blacktop sr20. i can mount it using the top two bolts (which is what you're supposed to do, right?), but the belt isn't in line with the pulley has anyone else experienced this problem? thanks.

In order for the DOHC Compressor to bolt-up to an S13 SR20, you have to have an S13 SR20 Redtop A/C Compressor bracket. No what, ors, or ifs about it, you have no choice. Your only other alternative is to bolt up the SR20 A/C compressor and have the lines made at a local Radiator and Cooling Shop.

We just went through this whole ordeal with my brother's S13 SR20 Black-top swap into his S14. So this is very fresh on my mind at the moment.
