AC compressor support bracket

I am trying to find a bracket for the back of my AC compressor that connects to the exhaust manifold. I have headers and the long AC compressor on my 79 L48. I took my bracket off a year ago and I can not find it. It looks like an L and bolts to the heads in one of the header bolt holes.

I remember seeing one on here but can not find it for the life of me. I have a friend with some R-12 and he is going to charge my unit for me.

Thanks
Dan

The one that was on my car was about 3 inches high (it was bubba fied) and bolted to the rear of the compressor and also to the third header bolt hole. Wish I wouldn't have lost it.

Who made your headers? Most of the header manufacturers sell brackets to mount the stock AC. Factory brackets usually do not fit aftermarket headers.

I will look at summit and jegs. Not sure what type of headers, they were on there when I bought the car. I think Roger helped me out. Corvette Air Conditioning Compressor Bracket, With Headers, 1963-1968 Part # 26753 I think this is the part I need from ecklers. Thanks guys.

Does anyone know where I can get a AC bracket for a 79 with headers that doesn't attach to the headers. I am going to put some Stage 8 header bolts on and my AC bracket currently is attached to the headers.
