I ground away a portion of the compressor bracket on my 77 300d with a dremel tool in order to access one bolt to replace the water pump without loosening the bracket.
^^what Kerry did. I don't recall doing this. Perhaps I removed or loosened the compressor from/on the bracket? Does that make any sense? Wasn't fun. They obviously didn't originally design this engine with A/C in mind.
