This document is an exploded parts diagram showing the air conditioning compressor mounting arrangement on a Ford V8 engine (uploaded as applying to the 400 CID engine in a 1978 Ford Bronco). The line drawing depicts the front of the engine with the water pump pulleys and crankshaft pulley, and shows how the A/C compressor assembly (part 2875), compressor clutch assembly (2961), magnetic clutch field coil (2987), and idler pulley assembly (8A617) are assembled onto a mounting bracket (19D624) and brace assembly (2A964). Each fastener is called out with its Ford hardware part number, including bolt 37841-S2, washer 358605-S2, clip 374372-S32, and screws 381649-S2, 370608-S2, 378859-S36, and 384387-S2, with leader lines indicating exactly where each fastener installs on the engine and brackets. A reader can use this diagram to identify the correct Ford base part numbers for the compressor, clutch, field coil, idler pulley, bracket, and brace, and to see the assembly order and fastener locations when removing or reinstalling the A/C compressor and its mounting hardware. The diagram contains no torque specifications, year/model applicability text, or written instructions—only labeled callouts on the exploded illustration.
