Default A/C Bracket pics needed

I purchased a 80 that was told to me that all it needed to get the A/C working was a compressor and recharge. I thought -simple enough i can do that. When the car was delivered, i was in for a treat. The only thing it had was an evaporator-and it was not sealed off. Anyway, I need to see if anyone has any good pics of how the brackets mount for the compressor. I have purchased some brackets off e-bay and hope I got the ones needed to do the job. Thanks

Forum member BarryK sent these to me a while back when I needed help. They should be similar to your application.

I sent you those pics?? wow, I don't remember that and don't remember those pics. They aren't mine....... oh well!
They are helpful though.

I do have some pics that might be helpful also although they aren't quite as close-up as the ones previously posted.
Here is a link to the motor reassembly from my '78 showing the progress of bolting all the parts back on.
Scroll about 1/2 way down the page and you will see the photo captions that say "installing the AC compressor, etc" and you can see the various brackets and parts needed that bolt onto the block.
