Front Motor Mount with AC

[PalAl]

A question to those who have installed AC in their Model A's.

Did you change the front motor mount from the stock yoke to
the Float-A-Motor front motor mount?

Should there be concern about the added weight of a compressor?

Or, could it be I am once again over thinking and being anal.....

Thanks for jumping in, stay healthy

I have original motor mounts on my pickup. Yes, it does have A/C (among other things). Doesn't seem to be a problem.

On another note, I have often wondered if I could put the front FAM mount and still use the stock rear mounts.

I use a dual belt crank pulley (3 1/2") from SOS. Front belt standard Model A. Back belt is standard AC belt (11A1320) and 5 1/2" clutch on compressor.
Remove about 3/8" stock from original front mount.

Like Carl G. I use a stock front motor mount. I have a Ken Davis A/C in my Slant Town Sedan. A/C has been installed since 2010 and no problems with added weight.

Thank you for the responses, glad to hear good things about Ken Davis AC as that is the direction I'm headed.

My A/C is also a Ken Davis unit. It is a dual function, as it also serves as a heater.

I also use the stock Model A front pulley and the stock front motor mount. Never a problem. The extra weight from the Compressor/Alternator mount and the compressor IS NOT A PROBLEM. . Self buuilt kit an am building another for my woody.

It is a Ken Davis unit. Looks and installs the same. It just has the capability of having additional connections for water and serves as a heater in winter. It is really awesome. Only one unit for heat & cold air. It was a little more $$ but well worth it.
