Default OBX Headers for sidepipes and possibile brackets needed

Hi There

A 69 C3 350cid/300hp Coupe Automatic with AC, Power Brakes and Power Steering.

I'm expecting the OBX hearders and sidepipes to arrive after one week.

When removing old parts from Vette I noticed that the alternator had a bracket mounted to driver side exhaust manifold. The passanger side manifold is still in place, but it seems to me that the AC compressor is mounted to passanger side exhaust manifold. I'd probably need new brackets for them, right?

I noticed that Summit Racing has these

HOK-10922HKR

HOK-10926HKR

Do i need those? I'm asking this "in advance" because it takes some time to ship staff here to Finland and don't want waste time waiting if I anyways need to have those.

I have allready Hooker headers side mount brackets (HOK-65668XHKR), good header gasgets and header bolts (STG-8911).

Thanks, in advantage.
