Default A/C got me confused

ok i got my new becool radiator and A/C condensor(i think that is what it is called it the a/c radiator thing) and put them in yesterday during my engine install and cant figure how the condensor mounts in there. i dont know if im missing a bracket or what but i can figure out how this thing mounts. it looks like it slips over the front of the radiator support on the driver side but not sure if that is correct and i have no clue how it mounts to the passanger side. please help im lost here. TIA

My 76 condenser bolts to the radiator support on both sides at the top, I can't see anything at the bottom. A metal strap (bracket) bolts to the front of the condenser then is bent back to the radiator support and then bends back upward to bolt to the radiator support.
good luck

My '74 is the same. There are two straps of metal that attach to the condensor on each side with small screws, and the ends of the straps are bent into the radiator support. There are two large bolts at the top, one of which is holding a radiator support, and two smaller ones that are very difficult to see and get to that bolt the bottom of the condensor to the radiator support.
