Hardware info for AC Compressor
« on: May 01, 2020, 11:37:57 AM »
Hey everyone, my truck is a factory AC truck, but somewhere along the line someone pulled the AC compressor out.  I have it with all the brackets, but haven't been able to find a kit or info on the bolts to attach it.  Does anyone know where I can find a kit for this hardware, or have any information on the size and length of the hardware so I can just buy it at the store?

Thanks in advance.

Please include Year, Make, Model etc.. when posting

Post a pic of the brackets if you can.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Sorry, completely forgot about the year/make/model.  It's a '78 SWB with a 400 small block.  I will post a picture of the compressor and brackets later today.

We need to see if its an A6 (long, very heavy compressor, or an R4 (much shorter).   

The A6 brackets are very heavy material because they support a very heavy compressor.  I have a few pictures of how they mount to the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and the front of the engine block on my 350.

Sorry about that, I know it's been a few days.  Struggled a few times to get an image posted, but here are some pictures.  The brackets are good sized stamped steel.

Finding a donor is your best bet unless you go aftermarket compressor and brackets.
