Specifically the compressor. I'm trying to put A/C back in an '86 (compressor on drivers side) that hasn't had the A/C in it for years. I think I'm missing some bracketry. Any photos would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So I got the brackets off a nice Caprice Classic. They were all the same as the ones in the pics above.
The compressor is on, and it keeps throwing (compressor) belts. The compressor appears to be tilted "back" a bit, and "towed inwards" a bit, which is why it's throwing the belt. Why is it not straight? Should I just crank on the brackest w/a pry bar to try to get teh ting straight? Or try to use washers as shims? Anyone ever encounter this before?

Has no one had A/C alignment issues w/ the older cheesy stapmed bracketry?

Yes, when I put the World heads on.
I used flat washers as alignment shims.
