Happy Holidays all!!!
Was cleaning up the engine bay after my rad was installed and the old ac condensor was removed..
I noticed at the very end of the P side exhaust manifold is a very long threaded bolt with a nut and washers that cannot be tightened up??
FWIW the OE AC compressor was removed by a PO..
Any probs with not having a bolt at that position in the manifold???

That was used for the stock A/C compressor mounting. You can replace it with a normal bolt for the exhaust manifold if No a/c is going back in.
