Spring assembly? Is this for a Frigidaire/Harrison R-4 compressor?

Heck I dont know vader..Its on the LT-1..if I'm looking at the clutch there is a center bolt and 4 surrounding..the compresser is still in the car there is one bolt of the 4 left but I hate to take it out for fear of the whole thing coming apart on me...Ive never assembled one before......

I just looked at both my LT1s, and they each have only three bolts through the clutch face. Am I looking at the wrong part?

That very well could be..I was reaching down in the dark early this morning with a flashlight..that steel plate tween the outer piece and the pully had pivoted out off center and whas causing an unbelievable out of balance shudder when I pulled her off the freeway!!! Any Idea what size and length those bolts are?

Bolts? Should be rivets. I pulled a new front clutch plate off the shelf here at work & they are riveted together.

well, whats left of mine looks like busted off bolts..3/8 or 5/16..hmm either way I have to R&R or go with a A/C delete pully setup. Funny thing is , they want $190 for a rebuilt clutch. Or $210 For the whole thing , clutch and comp...Go figure?. I may just settle for the 35 dollar delete setup..who needs air when ya got T-Tops right
