Or you could go the Bubba way and leave the bracket on and just remove the pump itself until you find the spacer SIX is talking about.

Doesn't the AIR bracket mount in front of the AC bracket? Shorter bolt may be all you need. At least on a 79.

You will need shorter bolts at the water pump were the bracket was removed. Remove the pump pully and done if I recall. I will look at mine to make sure.
