Thank You 69hurstolds. I'm pretty sure the short bolts and nuts you listed are the same ones I ordered & received. I recently ordered & received these for the longer forward most bolts...

Thank you mikester. I went ahead and located these, placed an order and already received 6 pieces. https://belmetric.com/m12x1-75-coarse-din-6921-flange-bolt-class-10-9-wrench-16mm/?sku=BFD12X110BLK&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt_qgBhDFARIsABcDjOcU2Rk-FV7ithaNZ9RvXAvuSkTLuJVousWRr2ShHPbeQghcrmpe6b8aArgkEALw_wcB

64nailhead, Thank You for your input. I plan on doing things very similar to what to you have explained, inc. the use of a jack. I will need to buy a punch big enough if this don't help.

CopperNick, 1st off thank you very much for your input. Secondly I opted to get: https://belmetric.com/m12x1-75-coarse-din-6921-flange-bolt-class-10-9-wrench-16mm/?sku=BFD12X110BLK&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt_qgBhDFARIsABcDjOcU2Rk-FV7ithaNZ9RvXAvuSkTLuJVousWRr2ShHPbeQghcrmpe6b8aArgkEALw_wcB and not reuse...

TYVM for your input into my situation brrian. I may try your spring install method on the passenger side.

Rt Jam, I think most of what was missing is due to the bolts being most likely original to the car. I purchased the car in 2005. Drove it maybe a dozen times in 2 years. It sat in & out of non climate controlled garages until about 4 years ago, when I got really into a drivetrain modifications...

Yes 403Olds I am talking about the lower A arms. I thought the same thing about using a temporary bolt (most likely the old one from pass side) to keep A arm in place. I hadn't really considered using the spring compressor. I was going to use a floor jack but now I will probably use both. May...

Sorry if I over explain my situation. I've been in the process of putting my front suspension back into the car. I already fully installed the drivers side, except for fully threading on the lower A arm nuts. I was doing the same on the passenger side and decided to start tightening the nuts...

Damn...I was so excited it never crossed my mind. I'm still waiting to get my motor back from machinist. I also have to decide on who is getting my money for a performance transmission. So mock up is going to be a bit.

Thank You everyone for your replies. I tried this today after researching a bit more. It seems like it will work. A6 style compressor for my 1976 Buick 455 connected to factory a/c lines that came in my 1986 Buick Regal Limited.

I also only have the stock Buick 455 compressor brackets that fit the longer compressor.

The longer (top) one

I have a 1986 Buick Regal Limited that came factory with an Oldsmobile 307 & 200-4R transmission & factory A/C. I'm motor swapping it to a modified Buick 455 from a 1976 Buick Electra. I have all the A/C components that came with 1986 Buick Regal minus the compressor. I have the 1976 Buick 455's...
