I've been searching the local yards all summer for 73-76 FE a/c brackets and have only come across this one with C6SA-2882-A stamped into it. Is it the one I need? It appears to be correct, but did come off a 72 F100 (but it was not a a/c truck, so the engine had been swapped in).

Please correct me if I'm wrong but in my search I found that all the pre 73 pickups and FE car a/c brackets are different than the 73-76 pickups. If this one is right, I will only need the upper bracket to the water pump... Finding the brackets has become the hardest part of my a/c swap.

please post a picture. you need 3 total brackets. for the pump

 

3? I thought there was just 2. One below the compressor that bolts to the head (the one I found), and the one from the side of the comp to the top of the water pump with a tensioner pulley on it. What is the third bracket? Do you have a pic of 73-76 Fe with a/c? I'll try to get a pic of my bracket later today.

the 3 bracket goes form the pump to the exhaust manifold. but i never figured out where. so i left it off and am using the ones you are. there is a cast iron bracket that mounts to the head. goes behind the power steering. then there is one from the water pump to thepump with a idler puller on it. you also need the new pulleys.

 

Tonight I bolted the bracket up and it's not right. The pulley on the compressor lines up between the middle and front belt (3 groove crank and w/p pulleys) - no way it will work. So I'm empty handed once again. Thanks for the help anyway.

Does any one have gallery pics of a 73-76 FE with factory a/c? I'd like to see the bracket setup.

Check your email, I may be able to help. I managed to cut the images from the pdf, and you should be able to open them with this thing called clipboard viewer. Hope it helps.

 

you have the right bracket just the wrong pulley.

 

Resurrecting an old thread. The C6SA-2882-A bracket is from a T-Bird, right? What engines sizes will that bracket fit?
