Hey guys, I am in a real pickle of a situation. Had a guy that was supposed to do an engine swap for me along with some other work and it didn't go well. Had to take the car back but once I started trying to get things moving towards getting the car back together I found that a lot of pieces were missing. Currently I'm trying to get the power steering pump and alternator(with ac) properly bolted. Which he lost the bolts .I would really appreciate any pics of the olds 350engine with these two bolted on so I may see how it's supposed to look. Thanks

What year? There are some different brackets that were used over the years.

it's a 72 fast back that had factory ac. So the alternator is on the driver side. Any help would be appreciated.

So the alternator bracket will have a couple pieces, one kinda shaped like the letter H. Is that what you have? I'll go through my photos but if anyone beats me to it go ahead and post them!

Do you have any head bolts that also have a threaded stud on the top? You should have one on the drivers side, and off the top of my head I think two for the pass side.

Check out the photos on this old thread. Do these look like the alternator brackets you have?

And here's an old thread for the power steering. You will need some spacers for the power steering or the pulleys won't line up. Let me see what I can find on that.

Here's a sticky talking about the spacers, and diagrams showing where they go.

There's a number of commercial sources for them. Here's one vendor on ebay.

Thank you guys sorry so late(wasn't getting emails letting me know I had responses) yes I do have the 2 brackets one shaped like letter h. No I don't have head bolt with stud. Sounds like I better buy a few. Thank you for the responses and the pics. It was a little tougher for me because the old engine in the car when I bought it was out of a 74-77 year range. The one I got rebuilt was out of a 70 so putting things together are more time consuming because certain things don't look familiar. On a side note I bought an edelbrock 7111 intake manifold. Anyone know what all those holes are supposed to be filled by? Back pass corner for heater hose I believe, back driver corner for elbow to attach to brake booster, front driver corner temp sensor not sure on the others and I havea hole on the top of my water pump on the driver side of the top.
