Default front AC bracket

I'm looking for a front AC bracket to replace the one on my engine. It has been repaired by welding the bottom water pump hole which caused stress on the top hole which is half gone. The part # seems to be 1A and I've seen some on ebay that look exactly the same shape and size but with part #'s of 2A and 3A. Does anyone know if it is the same bracket and will fit 350 engine. Also have headers and the rear bracket is using the header bolts but I need them longer for the bracket holes. 1" will seem to fit but was only able to find 3/4". Am I right in the ballpark?
thanks Brian

you appear to be looking for an aftermarket bracket because of the headers

I have the aftermarket bracket on the back between the first and second header tubes. It's the front bracket with the adjusting slot that bolts on the waterpump that's the problem. Bolting the aftermarket bracket was also a problem but I used allen head 3/8 bolts, 1 1/4" long and made a long allen wrench up that extended past the header tubes and used a 5/16 socket on it and presto bracket secure. Now I need the front bracket.
thanks, Brian
