Ac Bracket question

[chev-obsession]

Hey guys, I am putting my ac system back on after a head swap. When I removed the ac compressor brackets, there were 2 home made looking round spacers. They were sandwiched between the intake and ac compressor brackets. Are those spacers original or should the bracket sit flat on the intake?

I circled the bolts I’m talking about.

This is only picture I have, but this is the factory AC on my 70. Looks like maybe yours was pieced together from some other stuff, but hard to say.

There were usually studs for bracket stacking and the head of the stud was the spacer

Is your truck a '69? I don't recall a thread that discusses the different A/C brackets used over the years. Yours appear to be the same early version used on my early '69. I believe the brackets were changed during the '69 model year or 1970.

The pictures below are of the originals on my '69. They MAY answer your question.

Thank you for the pictures and clarification. The bracket setup that you have is identical to what I have. I did put the spacers back as I found them. I see you have what looks like an original water pump. The bracket that bridges between the water pump and driver side head would not clear the replacement water pump so I had to grind some of it off for that bracket to fit.
