Are you sure that your original engine wasn't an Olds 307? The eighth digit of the VIN is a Y for the 307 Olds.

Yeah it’s a 305, not any Y in the vin

I'm rather certain your 1980 Cutlass was a 260 engine..... which makes sense that the Chevrolet stuff doesn't line up.
Also, Olds never had a 305 engine... as you claim.

So… yes they did come in a 305 like I claim

I have swapped my Oldsmobile 305 with a 350 sbc

When you changed your engine to a 350 did you change your engine frame mounts to these or were they already there?

They were already there

They were already there

Then you had a Chevy 305 in there and the AC compressor is on the driver's side?

I have swapped my Oldsmobile 305 with a 350 sbc with the 8525hkr exhaust and now the AC bracket does not fit and the exhaust it larger than the stock exhaust manifold., has anyone seen this and have a solution?

If you can post a picture of your AC bracket and where it is supposed to mount, you might be able to use an aftermarket SBC AC bracket designed for headers to give you the clearance you need.
