Default 76 ac set-up

I own a '76 4-speed with factory air. The last owner basically handed me a box full of ac parts none of which are currently on the car. If anyone has a 76 4s-peed with factory air could I ask you to take a couple pics of the system so I can make sure I have all the brackets and parts. It seems like 76 was an odd year for the ac setup. All the diagrams I am finding are either pre or post 76. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you don't already have one buy an Assembly Manual (AIM). All the corvette suppliers sell them and it has great diagrams with part numbers. You might also try googling 76 Corvette engine bay or 76 Corvette Air Conditioning for additional information and photos. The Assembly Manual will be your best source of information though.

Thanks. Stupidly I forgot I do have a gm workshop manual. Can't see the forest through the trees sometimes.
