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)
