Previously I just used downloaded models. But after I found that some of them are not very exact I decided to try to do something relatively complex.
As I needed better model of compressor I decided to do it from scratch. Here what I ended up with.
Need your feedback.

Very impressive. It looks almost exactly like the one I downloaded from the Internet.

Oh man, don't tell me you found good one and I spent all this time creating another one ... LOL
Jokes aside, thank you for the kind words.
I had good opportunity to learn some tricks that I wouldn't learn otherwise. I tried to look harder for the model and found this one Link (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98443) Is this the one you are talking about?

The linked inventor model to appears to match all the dimensions in the attached spec sheet, which is not super detailed. Visual inspection leaves me dubious of the proportions. Do you care to check this file with your measurements?
Also, since it looks like yours is probably more accurate, would you care to share a .step of it?

I suppose if I ask for feedback it's better provide CAD model and not just a picture eh? LOL
Attaching it now. I forgot to remove the heat sink I was designing (it was hidden in Creo), but that is something else that needs feedback as well :)
First of I wanted to mention, I wasn't following spec sheet, I was measuring actual compressor. I tried to be as exact as I can with reasonable tolerance. I used caliper for measuring.
There some discrepancies between sheet and actual measurements.
For example A states 5.94", but on actual compressor it is over 6", about 6 1/32" (my caliper maxes out at 6")
Checking PDF sheet you sent, here are my findings (actual measurements):
A=6.02"
B=2.052"
C=4.6"
D=5.545"
E=1.42"
F=1/4" (I suspect this is just different fitting)

Thanks for the model. Very detailed.
Somehow when I import it into Solidworks get some different numbers:
A=5.98"
B=1.98"
D=5.439"
E=1.36"
Whenever I get access to our compressor I'll see if I can get some measurements as well.

Numbers I quoted where physical measurements. Here are measurements from my model in Creo:
A=5.92" (bracket ends. rubber shoes sticks out a bit more)
B=2"
C=4.60483"
D=5.43888"
E=1.36"
