The other thing I noticed while loosening the compressor was there appeared to be a bolt missing. When the pivot bolt was backed off, there was a small bracket, between the head of the bolt and the compressor, which flopped down. It appeared to be part of a clamp for the refrigerant lines. I couldn't see very clearly but isn't there supposed to be a bolt going through the bracket attached to the cooling lines and the one that flopped down?
