Default Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers

I have ordered a set of Hooker Super Competition Sidemount Headers and I can't seem to get a definitive answer on whether I need the A/C & Alternator relocation bracket for my 1978 C3 w/auto trans. Can someone please confirm what is needed?
Thanks in advance!
Tony

Yes, I saw that, but everything in that document makes reference up to a 1977. No mention of a 1978.

Your alternator bracket should be fine. I don't know about the AC.

I was able to use all the stock AC and Alternator hardware with Hooker sidemounts on my 79.

Thanks all! The headers & side pipes just arrived yesterday. Hopefully I get them on by the end of next week. I'm currently replacing the entire suspension along with trailing arms and differential.
