Well the motor is in on my 96 awd. I have everything going as plan as of rihgt now even though i get very little time to work on it with so much homework for school and work. My question is now i thought that when you did the six bolt swap you needed to keep the ac bracket from a SIX bolt motor so that you would have the proper spaceing for the axel bracket that bolts into block. I'm starting to think you need a 2g ac bracket not a 1g. To start with or without the 1g bracket you can only use one bolt. Which i though that was right anyways. So what do you have to use the 1g or 2g ac bracket? Yout only use one hole right on the axle bracket? The one closest to the transmission? I was going to put that in and it looked like it put the axel on a bind? Any help would be apprecited?

just found out that i do need the 2g bracket. My next question is as of now the only bolt hole used is the one closest to the tranny, so the other one is just left w/o anything in it. With that bracket will that fix that and i use both whole or will it just put a spacer in front of hole that already has a bolt in it?
 
I wish I could answer you off the top of my head. Tell you what though, I wussed out the first time on my car and had a shop put in my 6 bolt. Take a picture of what you are talking about and I'll go out to my car and take a pic for you so you can see what it looks like.

I don't have the car here with me right now, it's at my garage about 40 minutes away. Thanks for the help i would explain it to you but i'm not going to make you go out jack your car up and look all around LOL. It's hard to see it's behind the motor the bracket is bolted to your block then the axle bracket bolts to that. You would have a really hard time seeing it.
 
on my 1g i just pile up washers when the ac is out i just got lazy on the 2g and just used 1 bolt either way works i never have ac
 
I'm sorry, I didn't explain. I'm in the middle of pulling my engine and just have the axles and the fuel line left. I probably have a clear shot for the picture if you'd like.
