Hey, I`m hoping someone has, or could take some pictures of their ps and a/c brackets on their 5.0L

The reason being my 88GT is a factory non-a/c car and I`m putting it in. I got the brackets and compressor from an late 80's t-bird and bolted them up. I`m assuming their not the same as now I can't close my hood, maybe 2 1/2" to go.... Based on pictures online of the compressor, it looks identical. The only other variable are the Prothane Motor Mounts I have in the car. After putting them in, it did make the engine sit higher. Didn't think it has 2 1/2" though.

Any pictures or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shouldnt have to cut the firewall, but you will need a new HVAC box and the foam pad that goes in between the HVAC box and the firewall in the inside.

Long story short I now have right brackets except for one. I need the black steel bracket that bolts to the back of the compressor as the one I have is the square peg round hole situation.


won't fit onto


Found a pic of the one I need.



Does anyone have a spare bracket lying around they would be willing to
sell. I`m 4 hours from the nearest wrecker, and they don't get 5.0L
Mustangs either. I`m currently living in northern Alberta.
