Did the car have A/C originally? If so, then you need to find a way to mount the KA compressor to the SR block. CodyAce has some conversion brackets, just do a search in the RWD SR forum. Another option is to modify your existing KA bracket to bolt up to the block. I've seen people take the SR bracket and bolt the KA compressor to it, but you can only get 2 or 3 bolts secured, so I don't really recommend it.

If your car didn't have A/C to begin with, then you're in for an uphill battle. The HVAC control will need to be changed, you'll need the A/C box for under the dash, the compressor, the drier, the condensor, the lines, and some wiring work.

Use the stock sr compressor with the stock lines, just have the correct flanges for the sr compressor welded onto your stock lines in the correct orientation. I used this method 2-3 years ago when I finally got tired of sitting in ball soup every time I drove my car in the summer.
