AC mount with headers?

One of my AC problems is a busted compressor bracket. It is the bottom, cast, bracket that the compressor swivels on. The mount portion that connects to the front of the engine is broken. That I can get fixed but the other portion that I figure used to mount to the exhaust manifold is hanging in free space??? I have headers on the car from a previous owner. Anybody have a picture of a compressor mounted properly on a car with headers. Oh, 350 small block.

Hooker makes a bracket that will hook up to a stock A6 compressor and mount directly to the header bolts on the flange.

Does the hooker kit have a front mount too. The previous owner of my car removed all the brackets and compressor, apperently when they mounted the hooker headers.

All you need to do is take the OEM bracket to a grinding wheel to use it. I bought a bracket from Hedman and never opened it when I saw how flimsy it was. It's still in the package unopened....

Thanks, I thought it didn't look right. I'll have to get a part number and let Santa know.

Take care,
