Default Which A/C bracket for headers??

Hey guys I'm all but ready to put these headers on. All I need is the bracket or brackets for the A/C compressor but I'm not exactly sure what to order and I'm having a hard time finding a picture of what I'm going to need, can anybody here help me out with this? Thank you guys

Who made your headers? The manufacturer may have the bracket you need.

I'm not too sure. I bought them from a a guy who had them on a 73 that he never drove once. He told me he thought they were heddmann but they are only stamped with serial numbers so it's hard to say

On the 77-82s with the R4 compressor you use the stock bracket with a spacer to make up the thickness the stock manifold was.
A stack of washers or simply a lock nut at the header flange will work.
