1986 AC Compressor Bolt & Brace
Looking at the rear of an 86 L98 compressor, is there a brace at 12:00? Or is there only the one brace at 6:00 that bolts to the exhaust manifold? Just making sure I'm not missing a brace.
Also, is there any way to completely remove the bolt at 6:00 without disconnecting the AC lines? Thanks.

Thanks, Jack. I need to replace the bottom bolt. Can that be done without removing the AC lines? There are some stripped threads in the front side of the bracket and I think on the bolt threads, too.
