Sanden A/C compressor polished nose cover

[Paul G]

I just got the Sanden A/C compressor to bolt down on my 360. It's originally an A/C car. The 360 already had a March serpentine pulley set on it so I got the March brackets to mount the serpentine compressor. I had to file down one of the spacers to get the compressor to fit the brackets. I am surprised at the poor fit? Anyways I also got a polished nose cover for the compressor. Put it on and it contacts the fan blades, by a lot! Couldnt use it like that. Anyone run in to this? Find a way around it?

Sanden makes several different compressors of different lengths, the higher the model number (SD5, SD7, SD8 etc.) the wider the distance between the mount lugs. Does the compressor number match the March mount(s)?

I got all the part numbers from March. I called them just to be sure it all would fit. Ordered from Summit. I got an email back from March today and they said dont use the nose cover with the stock fan, switch to electric. I wish they would have stated somewhere that the nose cover wont clear a stock fan.
