Thank you. You guys keep this up I'll unpack my A/C compressor brackets/clips and take a pic.

Those brackets carry a story. My bud and I did the R&R on the engine in 1993, and I never reinstalled the A/C. Since then, I often pondered if I had the parts and how it assembles.

Well, that's one reason I bought my 72 driver, donor & former "parts truck"............... it's nice to have a comparison HA!. Anyway, between the "donor" truck and board help, happy to say I had all the parts less one tube clamp and a few bolts. Donor truck had that clamp, and I swapped out another for a cooler variance. Anyway, those clips cost $3,000, before improvements

The better half, I finally know how to install the compressor. Did a dry run and it's real simple.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
