1971 Blazer 4x4 Factory AC Bracket and Water Pump question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 71 Blazer was originally equiped with AC, but the previous owner took the compressor and all of the brackets out of the truck. I later picked up a complete AC assembly and am in the process of putting it back in. The one thing that I can't quite figure out is if there is a special fitting for the connection to the water pump. The fitting I have sits right between the two bolts for the water pump and subsequently, between the two bracket mounting points for the AC. It really doesn't seem as if there's enough room to put the hose on the fitting with these brackets/bolts so close. Is there a special fitting for AC equiped vehicles?
