On your bracket that bolts to the vintage air unit drill the threaded holes out to 3/8".. Then slide the unit in on the welded in studs and use nuts or locking nuts to secure the unit.. Then use the provided sheet metal screw to attach the top bracket the inner cowl..
Never installed one of these units but reading what everyone was saying, this idea was exactly what I was going to suggest.
