I have a GSL-SE running on an S5 NA block now and want to get AC working in it again. Before the swap, I had working AC with the original GSL-SE components but running r134a. The FB compressor does not bolt up to the FC engine's accessory bracket, and the power steering pump is on top of the AC compressor in an S5 instead of underneath like it originally was. Any advice on how I can piece together a working system?

Specifically:
1. What AC compressor should I buy? I think FCs had multiple types
2. How should I connect the existing system to the new compressor? Do I need to have custom lines/hoses made with the ports in them to connect everything? Or use FC lines in the FB to make up for the different compressor placement?

I just moved to Texas so after a year of no AC it's time to get it working again before temperatures rise in the spring

Can you not use the GSL-SE accessories?

Do you mean using the GSL-SE power steering pump and AC compressor w/ bracket? I do need to use the S5 bracket because I need a 3 port FC power steering pump. The car has a 3 port FC power steering rack.

The S5 AC compressor bolts on with 4 bolts from the side, towards the block. My GSL-SE compressor mounts with 2 bolts from the front, around the pulley. I'd fabricate a bracket but I'm not sure there's enough room on top of the compressor to connect hoses
