OK - my head is swimming from all the variants and changes. Is there a site or place a guy can go to see the correct parts for a March 68 mustang? I am pretty sure I need the following:

1) Compressor Brace - C8AA-2A964-B
2) Compressor Mounting Bracket - C7AA-2882-L
3) Fixed idler pulley - C8AA8A617-C1 or C2
4) Adjustable idler pulley - C8AA8A617-A1 or A2
5) Compressor stabilizer bar - C8ZA-2889-A

I have found the adjustable idler pulley at Napa. Haven't found the fixed one any where yet. I see from the book that cars with PS, the fixed pulley mount a bit different.

So, since I am going to a new rotary compressor, do I still need the brace (item #1)?

Anyone know where to get items 1, 2, 4 and 5? Any other unusual parts I will need to mount the compressor, drier, condenser?

We have most everything documented on our website.
Use the link in my signature.

Save your receipt for the pulley. If it is the 4 Seasons branded one, they have the wrong offset for the pulley. I pointed it out to the representative, he never let me know that it was changed. Hopefully they have it right.

Scott - is there a way to check - visually or otherwise - when I pick it up from Napa, so I don't try to install it and find out the hard way?

I'm your Huckleberry.

Thanks Huck! When you get a chance, I have a fence to be painted too! LOL . But really, thanks! I have no way to know what is right and what isn't - no original parts to compare, no cars around here with 302 AC to look at, so I am on an island a lot! So the time you and all the other GT/CS'ers give to help guys like me from making costly mistakes is received with gratitude! Thanks again!!!

Link in the referenced thread no work.... from 2008.

Anyone got a new source to order on the web?

Redoing the GT/CS C code and would like to add this to the library as most of the past engines have been FE's...
