I used a large pry bar and shimmed it in place for now. Used a 3/4" piece of wood between the oil pan and sub frame. The compressor clutch now has about 1/4".
Not sure how the e36 compressor would make any difference as the belt will be in the same location and most AC clutches are similar in size. I have some at the shop. Took the day off today for a change, but can verify when I go back in.

Bid for the chance to own a S54-Powered 1989 BMW 325is at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #9,621.
This guy is running the E36 compressor as well.
I think its the radiator thats eating up the space. The mishimoto rad is a bit narrower because it doesn't have the plastic end tanks like the factory ones do.IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here
