What year did GM start using Metric nuts and bolts on some of the car’s components?

I guess that I'll have to buy some metic tools. I am installing an A/C system off of a 78 onto my 70. I found that I couldn't even remove the drier onthe 78 without metric wrenches. More money!!!

Maybe, however I can't seem to find what vehicle my system came off of. The sticker on the engine compartment box says "Harrison GM EBA-070-78U. The only thing I can find for Corvettes is EBA-070-76B. Can anyone help out here.
