    I''ve been going back and forth here trying to decide what way to go about setting this up..
    So far what I gathered , I can use the 350 bracket and pump set up on the metric g body pump..
    Or I can actually swap the fitting on the back of the pump to accept the metric hose onto the older 350 Pump.
    I will compare pulley offsets tomorow just to be sure ..
    I had thought about searching out the v6 bracket setup in case I wanted to go with the G body AC in the future..
    Either way I have to search out some parts , I only have bits and pieces from each setup..
    Actually the older pump I have looks like my 70 Skylark 350 single pulley pump (bracket on front and back), with the acception of the fitting, there seems to be a male AN style concetion on there...

    Well, for now I decided to use the the 84 Regal pump and swaped the brackets over from the 70ish setup .Figure now that its all cleaned up, If I ever decide to change the setup it will be easy enough..
    The only difference that I could notice beside the metric/standard fittings were the return tubes...the Regal or 3.8 G-body pump at the tube kind of aiming around the back towrds the front where the older 70ish pump kinda just stuck up in the back..
