Sure, I'm up for trying to help you but...making the bracket is the key and my set up is probably different from yours. Try to get all of the Mopar mounting brackets off of the motor when you pick up your compressor it will make it easier to mount. I'm not sure it's explainable...it's one of those things you'd have to see in person. Luckily my R-134 compressor came with a double groove pully clutch so all I had to do was align one groove of that double pully
with the V-2 compressor to drive it while the other groove drives my A/C.
I litterally used two by four wood scraps stacked up to hold the V-2 in position with good pully alignment while I measured to fabricate pieces and locate bolt holes on the face of the block or cylinder head to attach it with. You will understand when you pick one up...that puppy is heavy. I really could have used a hand but I had no one to help.
