I had a York 210 in my mazda back in the day. I had it mounted on the drivers side of the motor on custom brackets that I made. It was a tight fit to get it in there but I managed it. My brackets were made from plate steel and simply bolted to the block using some of the mounting bosses in the side of the motor. I do not have any pix to show you but I can say that it wasn't too difficult to pull off, I managed it in a couple of evenings.

I bought mine used from a guy who was using it on a home built gas powered compressor so I'm unsure of its origins. He had already modded it inside for oiling when I got it, I think someone  has posted instructions on how to do the oiling mod before on here somewhere though. I know mine was the kind thet had 2 1/4 NPT ports on the top of the head, not the kind that uses the bolt on flanges. I had to use a 1/4 NPT street elbow to get it to fit under the distributor and I didn't have power steering on my truck. I also had to get a bottoming tap and clean out the threads on the side of my block because they were  pretty rusty from being unused for ten years in a northern climate. The holes are  the same thread as the motor mount holes, I believe I used engine mount bolts from a junk truck to bolt my home made bracketry on. I used one of the empty V belt grooves on the balancer to drive  the pump and got a belt from the parts store. I assembled the whole thing and measured for a belt last,as long as you have a measurement and belt width info any good parts house or belt supplier will be able to handle this task for you. You will need a check valve after the compressor or it will bleed your tank pressure back out through the compressor, I used an SMC check valve on mine. I also used some hyrdaulic line for my leader hase as the compressor gets warm while its pumping and I was worried it would melt a plastic line. I had a simple pressure switch at the tank to turn the compressor on with a bypass switch on the dash so I could bump my PSI up a bit to do some hopping once in a while. I also had a light wired in so I could see if the compressor was running .The wiring is really easy to do, I have a novice set of eletrical skills and I managed it okay. In closing I can say that I liked the EDC I had and would run one again for sure, it pumped like a mofo and didn't drain my battery. I would suggest a small eletric as a backup though, just in case you ever had an issue, sort of a spare tire for your air system if you will. Hope this helps you out some, hit me up if you have any more questions and I'll ttry and help.

Any of the older ford compressors work.  I had one on my mazda back in the day.  They are bigger than the newer ones, but they worked really good.  I put mine on the drivers side.     If you go to a Semi truck salvage yard, they have smaller versions in both serpintine and v belt configs.  I would do that to get one.  They are usually a dime a dozen.     Billy
