Most of the header mfg's sell a bracket that works with the A-6 compressor. I bought mine at a speed shop. Heres a link.

I'm not using the back braces on mine. It seems as if its working fine without them.

I'll have to look when I get home, but I don't believe my truck has any brackets on it while running headers... I will post some pics on Friday.

You can make your own out of 1/2 inch steel pipe. Just cut it to length to get the compressor straight at the front of the engine. Thats how I did mine on the 71. Then just get a couple of longer stainless header bolts to run into the head.
