Which bracket for AC compressor

Which of the Links pictured below is correct for the compressor on a '72 350 in an A-body? These appear to be the same but if you look closely one is a little shorter than the other. Thanks in advance for the assistance with this.
Rodney

This one appears to be to short.


This one looks right to me.

Bottom one - they look like mine that are still in the back bedroom awaiting installation...

That's what I thought. Now the million dollar question is, where can I buy a pair like the bottom picture?

Create a parts wanted ad, and make it clear which one you need. If someone can post the measurement that would be even better. I may have it, but don't know when I'll be able to look.

John, you have the big bracket - I left it in the Dell box full of power window and lock motors. I dropped it off Sunday morning (did not want to wake you) and forgot I did so until now! That was the one you shipped Carl years ago and he did not need it, so I brought it back to ya! It is bagged with bolts...

John:
Thanks for the offer. I'm not in a big rush (I'm picking up my frame from the powder coaters on Monday, so I'd say I'm a ways away from working on the AC) but I'm on the hunt for the right parts. If you find that you have a set, just shoot me a PM. Thanks!

So that is the correct one for 1972?

Is the shorter one different in 1972 as well?

Maybe I can help you out cdrod

John:
The bottom picture more closely resembles the diagram in the assembly manual, and Rob has a '72 and has confirmed that the bottom picture looks like replacement parts he has on hand. So I'm pretty confident that the bottom picture is what I need for my build.

Genuine 72 350 brackets right here.
They came off my car but never went back on yet.
John, I am pretty sure the ones I took back to you are the same.
Look-n-c...
Carl had a 72 with 455 so this may explain why he did not need 'em.
