Two types of A/C brackets. Which for a 69?

[praisegeetarman]

I've done quite a bit of searching, but can't find the answer I need. I know there are 2 types of small block V8 A/C brackets for 67-72 chevys. Early and late. Which style is a 69 suppose to have? Cast lower main compressor bracket mounted to the two passenger side water pump bolts , or formed steel mounted to the two front intake manifold bolts?

thanks in advance,

Keith

I think 67 was the only year that was different it was the formed steel one.

My 69 3/4 ton with a 350 made in December, 1968, came with what I think is the one you refer to as formed steel (see pictures below). This one attaches to intake and exhaust manifold bolts and bridges the valve cover. As I recall, the 1969 service manual shows two types for small blocks. The formed steel for the 350 and a cast version for the 307. The 1970 service manual shows the cast version for 10-30 series and the formed steel for 40-50 series.

Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted to know.
