73-77 Big Block with A/C Question Empty 73-77 Big Block with A/C Question

Post by TURNA Sat Jul 17, 2010 8:20 am

First I would like to say,

Hello and thank you for letting me join this forum.

I was wondering if anyone here had some pics of a 73-77 Chevelle with a 454 and A/C.

Or maybe a pic of the shop manual with the bracket install procedure.

I have the brackets in a box and I am not fimilar with the Big Block power steering & A-6 compressor setup.

Thanks

I am try to piece together the power steering and AC brackets.

I know the large plate goes on front of the block after that I'm clueless Head Bang

I'm not sure which exhaust port the one bracket goes over since I can't get the bolt holes to line up.

and I know one bracket goes in front of the compressor and one in the back but not sure which is which since I dont have the compressor yet.

Thanks for your help!

AHHHHHH finally

Well sort of Very Happy

I was so convinced that the one bracket bolted to the exhaust manifold.

I completely overlooked the 2 bolt holes on the head above it, that the small AC bracket bolts too!

I have to modify the bracket since I am using headers but at least I have a better idea of placement now.

Thanks !!!!!!!

Since you dont have the A/C installed anymore can you snap a pic of the power steering pump?

Thanks again

Ok one more annoying question. confused


Your power steering belt. Can you read the part number on it?

All the ones i am seeing are listed as steering, fan, crank.

I only have a 2 grove pulley on my water pump.

I see that you have the belt that goes from crank to pump and that what I need, but cannot find.
