IneedAmotor Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 how many bolts hold the A/C pump in? I know that you have to remove the pump and then the bracket tht holds it on. *forgot to mention that i am trying to remove this while the engine is still in the car* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmanco Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You didn't say what year car this is, but assuming it's factory installed AC (and not dealer installed) the compressor is attached to the bracket with 2 or 3 bolts IIRC. The bracket is attached to the block with 4 bolts. Have to ask: why does the number of bolts matter? It will be obvious when you're removing it.

I was asking for the number of bolts because they arent all visible and when i remove the top two bolts holding the pump to the bracket it still wont move. Thanks for the advice. Also i did forget to mention the year, its a 77 L28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Then you missed the 2 bolts in the bottom, next to the block - they go up through the bracket into the compressor front and back. Once those 2 are out, so is the compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
