you could always look at one at a junk yard that didn't have AC and it would probably have the right brackets too

on a 88xj... the only diff in the brackets for ac and non ac models is the compressor is replaced by an idler.

You'll need to fab some brackets for mounting it and figure out a different belt routing but it is possible.
