Question??? Will the brackets and compressor from a 88 fit on a 350.
The engine that it is going on is a carb set up. not tbi. The valve covers on the 88 have the bolts in the middle. I have the older set up with 4 bolts to fasten valve covers down. Is their a difference in the engine block that the AC brackets Bolt in to?

Thanks for looking, John

Thanks Sean, Another question, Where can I buy the vacuum hose and what size would it be. Auto Zone has hoses that are 7/64 in size. It looks like that might be it.

Thanks Again, John
