I painted all of my brackets for the A/C compressor. If you get paint on the main A/C bracket where the A/C compressor fits in the slot, scrape it off or sand it down, it's a snug fit.
The skinny end of the bracket bolts to the exhaust manifold.
Note: all bolts to install everything in the kit is included with the kit
Install two 3/8x3/4" bolts with lock washers where the exhaust manifold bolts need to go. Install a 1 1/4" spacer on the one closest to the front of the motor and a 1/2" spacer on the one farthest from the engine.
Like the pic below shows.
Then install the mount onto the manifold.
*Don't tighten the bolts until the whole bracket assembly in installed*
