WTB AC Compressor Brace for 88.

I'm looking for an AC Compressor bracket for my 88 GTA. When running A/C I get some vibrations, saw these pics on here.
It looks factory.

Yes, that's very factory.
Infact the early serp setups used 3 braces like that on each main bracket. Top ish, middle and lower placement.

Thank you for confirming, I always thought I was missing something there, I was also missing the alternator bracket that connects to the manifold. (luckily found a NOS one on ebay).

Bump, still looking for the little metal brace that goes from the back of the compressor to the exhaust manifold.

Re: WTB AC Compressor Brace for 88.

The above pics are from my serp set-up. The following pdf manual provides part numbers and installation info, which might prove useful:

The kit didn't include the brace pictured below, which runs from the driver's side of the compressor to below the thermostat housing and in my case eliminated noise and vibration. I removed the brace from a 90+ car.

Re: WTB AC Compressor Brace for 88.

Thanks for that link! - I ordered that brace from GMPartsGiant - 10105267.

I'll have to go look around in junkyards for that AC to T-stat brace, it looks very similar to the rear Alternator-Manifold brace as well. I'll have to do some checking. I guess for now we can mark this post as good. Thanks for all the help!
