I have a 1.8l 16v ac compressor mount ready to install.  Unfortunately I
don't have all the necessary bolts.  I am surely missing the top bolt that
goes in behind the timing belt cover.  Then I need a couple new bolts to
fasten the water pump to the block.  People have said the mount is really
a two piece mount?  I seem to have all the necessary parts, but I don't
understand about it being two parts.  Can someone explain?  I may need to
get some more parts and am trying to save time.  Too bad I can't view etka
using windows xp.
