Compressor Missing
So today, I planned on switching the belt, idler pulley and tensioner since at least two of them are making noises. After taking all of the stuff off, belt, idler pulley and tensioner... and since I always compare parts I buy to parts that were in, making sure they are identical and I didn't order the wrong one. So first up I checked my tensioner and the position of them or angles are different, completely different.
Hmmm... so Google it to view a few diagrams and bang! it hits me... the one I took out from my F150 is for a non-AC... so back into the truck and I'm looking.
Didn't have to go far when I realized that my AC compressor is missing!!!!
I keep looking around and I see that yes, I did have AC in it before I got it; because the guts are there but sliced! Great, so the job went from easy and easy I mean buy compressor and install; but now since the guts were cut, the PO sliced the thing out simply put. NOOOO!!!
Anyways, long story short, anyone know the following and can help;
1.) What are the bolt sizes that hold the compressor in place?
2.) Is there a wire connector on the compressor? or no?
Thanks a bunch in advance!

On the V6 they're something like M8x1.00 and around 130mm long. There's three of them, each identical. I'll pull one and measure it for you after lab tonight.
There has to be a way for the compressor to get power to actuate the clutch, and I think there's a pressure sensor on it too. Mine was a 3 or 4 wire connector.
