See the pic below. Supposedly the compressor and system came out of a '93 and my truck is a '93 as well. Mine came with out A/C from the factory but has 3 grooves on the crank pulley and I know the middle one is for the A/C. Looks like it lines up more with the belt groove that the power steering & idler use. At this point I'm wondering if I have the correct bracket and compressor. No idea how to tell though. Does anyone know if the pulley groove offset on the compressor changed from year to year? Seems like if it was just 1/4~1/2" to the rear it would work just fine with the middle groove on the crank pulley.

(Also I dropped a washer/spacer for the a/c idler and cannot find it anywhere. Dropped it down onto the skid plate and it rolled somewhere and I looked for it for a half hour to no avail! So where's the best place to get idler pulley hardware specific to the set up? Do regular parts stores carry the hardware to attach the pulley? Might need to visit the junkyard if not. Anyone out there have an a/c idler pully assembly that attaches to the bracket? )

Well I'm pretty sure I've got the wrong bracket. I found some pics of bleeder's set up which is what I believe I should have. But the brackets are obviously different utilizing different mounting holes in the block which is causing the a/c compressor to be mounted forward of where it should be.

In the pics below the GREEN arrows are where I have bolts attached through the bracket. The RED arrows are where I do not have bolts nor do they exist in the bracket. Man...gonna have to yank it all out and start over. This project is a PITA.
