Hey, Just curious how you were able to attach the bar that goes from AC unit to exhaust manifold, to your headers?
Pics would be great.
If you werent able to , did you ever develop a vibration from AC compressor?

I used the original stud that attached the manifold. I put a spacer in to make up the difference in the thickness of the manifold vs the header flange. I had to grind down the end of one of the brackets to clear the header tube also, but both brackets are on.

Thanx RichS. I looked at a photo, and there is actually 3 braces down there.. I have two, just need to put them on.
If you still have the vette, can you take a picture and measure the spacer?
