Specifically for a 1988 (L98 and the long later style AC compressor). PO managed to lose half the braces and snap half the brackets. I have the brackets replaced, and a few braces, but no idea what I'm missing.

As far as I can tell, I have all of the ones for the drivers side. One from the exhaust bolt to the alternator, one from the intake to the back of the smog pump, and one from the motor mount to the power steering pump. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

The passenger side I think is my biggest problem. I know I'm missing the long brace that goes from the top rear compressor bolt to the exhaust bolt (somebody please at least tell me which exhaust bolt it goes to so I know which to use a stud in and can tighten up and install my exhaust while I wait to find the brace). Also I'm still looking to buy one.

What I'm most not sure about is two other compressor braces. I tried ordering the previously mentioned one, ended up getting one I didnt know existed until today, goes from right behind the tensioner to the fuel pump block off plate. There's a hole in my bracket for it, but the stud on the plate is too short to mount it. Only long enough to hold the fuel line clip in place. Do I infer that the 88 didnt always come with that? Do I get a longer stud or threaded rod since it couldnt hurt to use it? http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...8vette-156.jpg

Then there's a third one I barely know anything about. Goes from somewhere to a water pump bolt? I dont know if my car even came with one.

Hope somebody can help here, at least the part about which exhaust hole I use a stud on for that one brace. If it wasnt for these braces I'd be under a week away from finally getting the car on the road.
