Title: Pic Request: OEM Compressor in place
Post by: ClayW on April 13, 2011, 02:31:32 PM

I need to figure out how the compressor mounts up. My donor motor has the bracket, but not the compressor.

Can someone direct me to a post or post images of how the stock compressor mounts up?

Thanks!

Here's the diagram:

And here you can see the bracket mounted. (disregard the grounding strap) The A/C compressor has 4 bolts going through it into the mounting plate.
