Exclamation I need HELP BAD!!! Power Steering

I have a question about Putting in power steering. I have everything I needed to do the job to switch from Manual to Power steering and I've put in everything but I noticed that when I put in the NEW Bracket to hold the P/S pump my air conditioning compressor won't fit in the new brackets holes!!

I'm guessing others have had this problem when swapping the two brackets so I was wondering what to do.

Is there another bracket I should've gotten instead, or do I have to buy a totally seperate compressor?

What's the deal!! I thought all this would just be a drop in, now I'm thinking I'm going to have to Rig it, or fabricate my own bracket...


Please I need help fast, because I need my car tomorrow.

Thanks

The FC came with two different styles of AC compressor and Power steering pump. The difference in the two im not aware of but im just giving you an idea that perhaps your compressor is not matched to the bracket.

yeah thanks guys...

I just looked another compressor I had off another car and it was totally different than the one I had on mine. no doubt they're both stock but just from different types of rx-7's.

I had to pull off everything I put on and now I'm going back to manual steering. I would rather have manual steering and air conditioning than Power steering and no A/C!!

Geez I just wasted $160 on parts I will never use!!
