1979 a/c compressor bracket

I'm looking to make on-board air on my '79 and I have a bracket that I got at a junkyard off of a '79 f150. I have a 250 with a 351M, and the bracket is a DO8H-19d624 - is that the right bracket? The reason I ask is cause the vacuum for the distributer is in the way - I have to rotate the distributer to create clearance for the compressor.

It sounds normal to have to reclock the diastributor for ac clearance. It is rather tight compared to no AC. I don't know if the part number is right.

Here is my 351m with ac compressor installed.

How far is the 'spacer' on that bracket for the power steering pump away from the flat part where the compressor mounts? I have about 2 inches, but I have seen some pictures of brackets with a lot less distance.

- is that the right bracket?

Look at this ID engineering number again, what you posted makes no sense.

The prefix begins D8O, but is the H correct? You also omitted the suffix that follows 19D624
