Found! 3.0 A/C compressor bracket

[BlueOval73]

I am in need of a 3.0 a/c compressor bracket. Not super sure if it changed much over the years. I would be installing on a '91. My '91 3.0l has the compressor installed on the bottom left of the engine, and finding new hoses to fit it in that location is virtually impossible it seems. So I would rather find the bracket that mounts it up top with the power steering and use the hoses that are made for that mounting location.

I have one for on my '01. Not sure if it's the same. If you find out what years will fit yours, and mine does, we'll go from there.

Could you post a pic of it? I've looked at pic online and it almost seems like anything from '92-'08 would fit, but I'm not 100% sure bout the later models.

I'll try to get to it this weekend. Cross reference the part #'s by year on RockAuto.

This bracket isn't listed in Rockauto. I found a picture on Google for a '92 3.0 that looks like this, so if the one you have is anything close at all it should work perfectly.

Sorry, bad weather kept me inside most of the weekend. I didn't get a look. I'll get out there after work to get a few pics.

No worries. I managed to find one today on car-parts. But thanks for taking your time to help.

I didn't get a good pic, but I did get a look at mine. Looks like it would have worked. Congrats on getting the part.

Here's the pics. lol
It really hard to get a good one with the engine in the bay.

Apparently FedEx lost this package so I'm still in need of this bracket if it's available.

That sucks. I'm not able to do any wrenching at the moment. How hard is this bracket to remove. and then, How much is it worth used? I may pay my nephew a few bux to pull it. He's been asking me for "work" lately. Even if I lose a few $$ on this deal, I won't be sore about it. IF I can help two people at once, I'd rather do that - just pass my "profit" to my nephew and help out a TRS member.

I paid $50+shipping for the one that FedEx lost. To remove it you'd have to pull the a/c compressor and power steering pump, which would require a power steering pump pulley puller. Then there are 3 bolts on the front side and 2 more on the back along the side of the engine. If you feel it's worth more than that for the amount of work just let me know.

Sounds fair. Now to see IF I can get it done for you. If you find one before I can get it to you, I understand. No hard feelings. I'll have to check on a " power steering pump pulley puller"

I finally found the correct bracket last week at a junkyard a couple hours away and forgot to update this thread.
