    amc 360 engine access. bracket diagrams needed

    Can anyone help me find some pictures/diagrams that may contain exploded views of the hardware and connection points for alternator and P/S setup? None of the Chilton or Haynes books show anything in detail. Eventually I would like something showing the stock a/c setup also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks a bunch. Never actually seen the compressor brackets for a v-8. A few more of these and I will be set. I see a triple pully on the crank. Is that the only way to run a compressor?

    Pre-75, I think, they used a single belt shared by the A/C and P/S, and a second on the alternator. Newer ones use a double belt on the A/C and alternator, and a 3rd to the P/S.

    Thanks. Since my 360 and access. are 1975+, I will just get some more photos of complete engines with/without an a/c compressor. Mostly I know that when I disassembled the engine that there were "LONG" bolts and "SLEEVES" for some of the mounting brackets. Knew it would have been easier to take some disassembly photos, but I was in a hurry.

    Right now I have all new bolts in the new water pump housing, but am thinking that possibly at least one "long" mounting bolt may have also been using one of those holes. I need to mock-up all of my brackets and access. on the engine before installation.

    The only "special" bolt I know of is in the water pump for the front bracket of the P/S. It has a stud at the top, and there is also a 1/4" or so spacer that needs to be between the bolt and bracket, or the bracket can crack (know this from experience).
