A/C line, condener, dryer components and fitment issues

Working on adding the necessary pieces for the a/c on my '78 build. The cab was an a/c cab so all that is there and correct. (the cab was an 87 and the a/c components were early mid 80's that was used on the cab) I'm running into issues with the dryer, lines and condenser. Ill try to give accurate info and if anyone has any tips or help or even parts I would appreciate it.

I got a new spectra condenser but I don't have anything to mount it with. There are large holes on rad support and it appears the condenser needs spaced out to clear everything on the core support. Anyone know what hardware is used?



I'm also missing some sort of a/c junction to connect the condenser fittings to the lines on the other side of the rad support. I see something gray'd out in the LMC catalog but can't find any pics, or info of the necessary piece needed.




My next issue is the hose that comes across to the dryer. The replacement hose requires a "J" shaped line that connects into the bottom of the dryer. It doesn't fit quite right and forces the J into the evap housing.



The dryer also doesn't fit right when connected to the evaporator. Its smudged up against the relay mounted to the evap. The dryer bracket I got also doesn't match up to the bracket that's attached to the evap housing.




And... The sensor I got doesn't thread onto the dryer. I'm not sure if its correct or not. The connector is correct for the plug I have. What specifically should this sensor be for? I also have a fitting on the hose that connects at the bottom of the evaporator and I have no idea what connects to it.



Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
