There is another brace that extend back to the motor mount. Those braces would be 250 0r 292 specific.
How many bolts hold that part of the bracket to the head?
I used to have one around here somewhere. It was simply too MASSIVE and only fit tha big A6 compressor. I've seen another factory bracket that fits the R4 compressor used in the 80s, and bolted to the 4.1 Pulsair integrated head. It was MASSIVE as well.


No , Sorry , That's the complete bracket I pulled myself from an intact L6 engine , The stock MASSIVE A6 compressor was also in place when I pulled it . It's held in place with 4 -3/8ths bolts to the head .

Here is a thread with pictures/part #'s on them NOS sold in 2008 for $250 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=317476
