Guys with a Big Block & Factory Air - Question for you...stumped.

[Ozona]

I'm moving along pretty good with my big block transplant into my '72 GMC.

Currently working on getting all the accessories on to the front of the motor. No excitement with the alternator or power steering.

I am confused on the air conditioning though.

I have a 1972 original/factory cast iron mount that I bought from a board member here. It's in perfect condition, not bent, twisted, or really even scratched much.

However...I can't seem to figure out how to get it to mount up.

Take a look at these pictures:




The bolt locations on the front are obvious / work. Same with the accessory mount on the head that is in front of the exhaust port. However I the hole in the bracket and the hole drilled in the head for the exhaust bolt don't line up.

What do I have bassackwards?

Suggestions? Other than toss the stock style compressor? I'm trying to keep a pretty stock appearance.

Thanks!!!
