No, that compressor is not factory. The factory compressor that was used was the Sanden (SD-508) which was a non-oiled rotary style compressor mounted horizontally.

By contrast, the York compressors were factory on FSJ's...that's where most people source them for OBA conversions.

I run my York horizontally...they perform equally well whether vertical or horizontally. Fitment can be an issue on some engines running them straight up and down...like on my 401 for instance.
