Default AC dryer

Hey guys and gals!
I am installing a new AC in my 1978. The old dryer isn't fastened to anything and is just sitting held up by the hoses. Is this correct or should the e something holding it?
If anyone has a picture of this set up I would really appreciate it thanks FatCat

It should have a band clamp around it or a bracket of some flavor to anchor it. Vibration will crack the hose fittings if they are all that's supporting it. Sorry I don't have any pictures. Got the AIM? Should be somewhere in there.

Just had my ac replaced, mechanic said the dryer was just hanging from the last time it was replaced. He found a band from something and put it on.
