Trying to add AC and PS to a 340 "resto" project

[Deleted member 9923]

My 73 Duster 340 project originally had a manual steering box and no air and i want to add both. With the paint and body almost finished, i am trying to assemble the front of the engine with parts from various donor cars. I am trying to put together the right AC brackets, alternator brackets, and PS brackets. I am going to use an OEM AC compressor and probably a Saginaw PS. Does anyone have any illustrations of what brackets go where? and in what order they go on? I have been trying to sort out the pieces for days, and this information is not in the factory service manual for 1973 Plymouth.

Probably the closest is asking here and getting someone to post photos, along with downloading (or buying) a parts manual which you can find on ebay.

You can download parts manuals over at MyMopar for for free

The BEST would be to buy either an aftermarket complete pulley braket set, or strip one off a donor junkyard engine. Pulleys / brackets can be a problem over the years in these girls

Thanks for the suggestion on the aftermarket bracket. I looked through the 1973 parts manual but it was little help. I purchased a bracket from Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/vta-162774-sda/overview/ which solves all by the power steering. I then got a complete PS unit, brackets, pump, pulley and even hoses from a donor that I can use to complete all the accessories for the front of the engine. this thing has been apart too long!
