Default Need close-up pictures of 1980 L48 a/c mounting brackets/locations

I pulled the a/c mounting brackets off for my cam install and am having some trouble getting them mounted back where they belong.

If anybody has photos of the a/c compressor mounting brackets and mounting points, please post them here. I'll check back daily.

Much appreciated!

Here's my '81 pics. Looks like you may already have what you need and I'm not sure how much mine will help anyhow. If you need more or anything else I can do to help let me know.

edit: i just reread your post in my thread. I didn't comprehend your question too well. I don't recall seeing a lower metal rod. When I get back home i'll take another look and see if I can get some pics from the lower side if you still need them.

edit2: yeah, it looks like you have what you need in the thread that KapsSA linked.

And don't forget the 1/4" or so spacer that goes between the ac bracket and A.I.R. bracket(if you have the pump) @ the water pump bolt.
That A.I.R. bracket isn't shown in the links posted.

Thanks for all the good info. I removed the A.I.R. pump with this project.
