Welcome to the forum. I recommend that you get the AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual) for the 77 Vette (available from most major vendors). It will answer a lot of assembly questions.

Do a search. Someone posted not too long ago asking the same question about a 79. The mounting for your 77 will be similar.

Good advice from 71rdster regarding the AIM. Order one. Get a 77 owner's manual at the same time if yo do not have one.

Not my pics.



Note if you go to R134, use a smaller orifice tube like the Ford Red .062 in place of the GM White .072.
