Mods if I am out of line, move or delete, my apologies in advance.

Trying to cobble together a complete 2.3 front end accessory kit for a 1990 series 2.3. Looking for pics of a complete factory install showing:

mounting bracket with the idler
Hoses low/high pressure to and from compressor
Valves and pressure switches
Somebody in Mississippi thought they did good removing it for Hp gains! Hmmmm. Must have liked to sweat profusely.

I have retained the evap as factory, the OG filter drier and the condenser. Zero connectivity otherwise. No electrical concerns, this is a photo op only with some finger pointing.



Many thanks in advance. 1990ish 2.3s are rare at yards here and I have been diligently searching for over two years. Finally got a mount bracket with some OE bolts, but just a bracket. Rock auto pics are only so helpful!
Alternately- if someone has a service manual page with all of the PNs or at least an exploded diagram, that would be just as useful, maybe even more.

Lasty, if there is something on the net I can click on, lead the way…. I am not picky on how I get imaging of the system.

Thanks in advance

Hope this helps... 1994 2.3 5speed
Also, I don't have a great picture of it, but the high side line on the driver side has that small aluminum canister inline, the pressure switch is attached to that line and it's down underneath the little canister in the photo, it's there but easy to miss. In the first photo you can see it clearly right underneath that aluminum canister thing (I don't know what that is to be honest).
