Don't have an engine spare, but I mounted a compressor (for air, not air con) on the exhaust side of engine. Down low at the front of the block there's 2 threaded unused holes (m8 I think) and I removed a couple of exhaust studs and fitted longer ones, bolt up manifold then bolt bracket to the back of the nut. And made a custom bracket to suit mounting points.

I'll endevour to check through my garden shed tomorrow afternoon (seriously send me a reminder PM if I don't let you know) but I should have a suitable F8 (which externally have an identical block to an F10. And just for novelty value, I know someone that bought a brand new 1L tintop back in the early 80's, and it came with air con

The 3 (and from there, I assume all) F8as I have aren't drilled and tapped in the mounting location under the exhaust manifold so one may not be suitable/be a pain in the butt for what he wants.
