ok feeling about as dumb as i possibly can swapped engines and cant rember where all the brackets go for ac,airpum power steering well everythingon front of engine can some one help with a picture or diagram so i can stop feeling like a dope...... thank you for reading

 

There a thread of under hood pics - search underhood and you'll find it.

 

thank you

 

ok going nuts cuz cant find the right pics even went to some site with blown up pics but it showed different brackets then i have

 

you didnt swap the engine mounts did you? the clam that bolts to the motor are side specific...ask me how i know lol

 

OK - get the brackets, and one by one match them to the parts (ie alt, p/s pump, etc). Then, you know what location the parts go - should be easy. You can't put the wrong bracket on a part - it won't mount to it. There's only 1 way it all fits together.

 

ok how do you know that they are different on each side

 

um they are the metal brackets not the big alluminum ones so i can put any bracket on any thing only one i know for sure is alternator

 

Shifts the motor to passenger side about 1/4-1/2 inch and gave me header clearance issues

If u need the exact number on the shell for what side they belong to I can provide it if need be.

 

did it drop right in or did you have problems getting it in and can you notice it while looking at it or is it not obveous

 

Nope fit right in both ways. If u glance at them they look the same. They need to be side by side to notice the difference.

Remember am only talking about the shell that bolts to the motor not to the k member

 

other than the headers was it ok cuz i am keeping mine all stock but should check anyways to so it right

 

It looked fine. Not sure if it would mess with the drivetrain or not...if the motors shifted then the trans is, then the driveshaft is not straight with the rear. I don't know though. It was easy to fix. I took the cap off my distributor, used a 2x4 on the jack and lifted the motor up just enough to get it off the mount. I didn't even take the crossmember for the trans off, there was enough play

 

did you still need some help with bracket locations?

 

opyders you the man thank you i needed that

 

ok so how do i know what mount goes on wich side cuz right now i used the mounts out of a 91 blazer cuz that what the engine came out of ......well 89 iroc to blazer to 87 iroc till i get mine back from machine shop
but when i put mine back in i will use the ones that cam out of 87 iroc

 

ok got all the brackets where they are supossed to go but does anyone have a close up pick of the ac/power steering bracket the goes over the maifold on the driver side .......1 side has a spacer on the bracket and the other side does not but it doesnt sit str8 and mine has a space between the manifold stud and bracket what goes in the spcae am i missing somthing

 

talkin' bout' A/C brackets?

 

Passenger side of car is 039436. Am not sure what the driver side is but i know its a longer number. Even tho they came off a blazer you might still have the correct mounts. My mounts came off a 78 camaro.

 

Put this one on first

 

Then they go on like this

This car has headers, so the brackets that go on the front exh man bolts had to have spacers, to take up the thickness of the exh man; but other than that, this is how they go

 

Note also, that the stock hardware was studs with a hex drive, and the hex makes a significant spacer, and those must be installed FIRST, then the brackets on top of them. There are also washers in there, and the stuff won't all fit right without those, as well. So the easiest way to do this is to use the stock exh man hardware, like I did (being lazy, I always do stuff the EEEEEZIE way), and make spacers out of short water pipe nipples or something, if you have headers.

 

the bracket i am looking for goes behind the ac/ and the ac/ and power steering are connected to it it attaches to the stock exhaust manifold the stud goes through the manifold then the bracket goeas on it and then a nut i will have to take a pic of it '

 

i nwill just make a spacer to fit there must have been one in there befor i took t apart and must have lost it

 

and opyders thank you again for the pics gonna make hose running easier now that i know where they go too.....lol
guess we will i will talk to everyone again when it comes time for all the vacume lines..........lol

 

Should be the tall one in this pic then.
