Default Help Needed w/1973 Radiator & A/C Condenser Installation

I'm in the midst of installing my DeWitts radiator in my 1973 coupe. It's a long story, but basically I started this 4 years ago and never completed the project. And, since it's been so long, I don't remember how it was originally assembled...

Do any of you have diagrams or pics of how the A/C condenser mounts to the radiator core support frame? I have the AIM and it shows how the radiator is supposed to be installed, but I don't see anything related to the A/C condenser.

TIA!

I just put mine back together. Not sure if yours is the same as my '71 BB, but the top of the condenser mounts via the inside bolts of the top radiator support brackets, and the lower part screws into the radiator support using sheet metal screws.

This is how it installs on my 73.
