ac compressor bracket

My 86 bird had a 305 4bbl and I replaced it with a built 350 with vortec heads. My car had the multi belt set up and now I'm having trouble getting the ac bracket back on to run the ac. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix it.

Re: ac compressor bracket

The bracket does not want to align up with the mounting holes on the head. Also it had a brace that went to an intake bolt, but the vortec intake does not have as many bolts as the factory one so there is no place to bolt the brace to on the intake.
