Currently on my own rebuild too. If you have a pick of your ac compressor bracket you might save my life.

More pictures of where it attaches too.

Hello, Im currently rebuilding the engine, i bought a junk yard engine because my other one needed some serious machine work to get going again, plus an overhall of the pistons plus crankbearings etc. Right now im trying to figure out how to pin the ac compressor bracket into the engine. Does...
