Default AC Condenser






I am having trouble getting the AC pieces to line up. The top picture is the drier bottle connected to the lines, but not attached to the radiator support. When I look at the assembly manual it seems to show that the driet bottle brackets attach to the condenser framwork. I can't figure out where it atrtaches. I have the two sheet metal screws, but I dont see any holes in either the radiator support or the condenser framwork. The second picture shows the supprort and framework. I see nowhere for the screws to attach. The 3rd pic is the orientation of the lines as they go through the radiator support. It doesn't look right to me. I would think the lines would be parallel. The 4th is the radiator bracket. I think I need to drill a hole in the shround and the bolt at the top connects the top of the shroud to the support. Any thoughts, suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Ok, I have a 65 so for now I'll wait for a 66 owner to reply before I post pictures of my 65, in case they are different.
