Someone said that they didn't want to go to the Sandan from Jim K at Applied GMC. Because they didn't want the trouble with new mounting. It's so simple to install, and very light. Then off the valve cover. I had wasted money on 2 different original rebuilt compressors. Bob Dunahugh
 
Bob,
Glad you brought this up as this system is lot lighter and does not get in
the way like the original.
Sorry people make comments without trying.
We must sell about 3-6 units a week.

When I bought my coach, it had the Leigh Harrison serpentine system with a Sanden SD7 compressor... I ended up returning the system to V-belts, and
since there was no longer a belt tensioner, I had to fabricate a way to tension the SD7.... Front was fairly straight forward, but I could not copy
what I made for the front to use for the rear mount, as the mounting position was different. I thought about just going with the front mount without
anything on the rear, but in the end to be safe, I went with one of these to support the rear of the compressor:

Hope this helps someone....

Just be carefull of the AC hoses, make damn sure they are not anywhere near the Compressor pulley as those bolts will eat the hose!
Mine only touched on acceleration when the engine torqued over, it too 2 or 3 starts to ruin the hose
