Default A.C. compressor questions 71

I have a 71 corvette with a small block, that I bought 2 months ago. I have pulled the front clip off because it needed to be replaced, detailed the frame and engine, replaced all hoses, power steering stuff, master cylinder, the suspension had already been rebuilt and so were the brakes, I am trying to do as much as possible while the inner fenders and clip are off on the engine. The car originally came with A.C. but is missing most of the pieces now, i have the pieces that go under the dash and the box, but I am missing almost everything else. Does anyone have a diagram they could post of the ac system, so I can see where everything mounts to and what I need to purchase, I have never done an AC system most of the time I don't put ac on my cars because they are race cars but not this one. Any help would be , thanks

"A picture" can't possibly do the job for you. You need to have a copy of the A.I.M. for your car. It has all the installation diagrams and part numbers that you need.

what is the A.I.M. and can some one post me a link to where I can find one. I am an auto painter by trade but don't do mechanical work all that often. Thanks
