Default 1970 350/300 engine compartment

This is my first Vette I bought in 1982. Long story short, it went through 7 owners and was badly mistreated. Over the course of several years I restored it and now need to finish the small details. Really could use some help in correctly locating where the A/C hose bracket and fender bracket are located. Also need locations of the horn relay, front end wiring and vacuum hose brackets located on the drivers side inner fender. The front end was damaged so severely I spent many hours saving the original fiberglass front end but bought new inner fenders. The original ones were broken and repaired with land marks obscured and pieces missing. If someone has time to get a picture or two it sure would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would purchace a 1970 assembly manual. Your looking for alot of information. A manual is a good investment for locating where & how parts go.

Default 70 Assembly manual

Manuals do not show exact placement of the items in question as a picture would. I have factory dealer parts books along with every original Helm shop manual from years 1966 thru 1985.

I would still acquire an AIM and a Chassis Service Manual for the '70 Corvette. Wise investment.

I don't have A/C so can't help there. Olson Engineering has an excellent electrical wiring diagram.

Thanks very much! This is what I needed. The inner fenders were bought about 1986-87 from Ecklers and did not have dimples to locate rivet holes precisely or the stud for the relay.
