A/C Compressor Bracket Part Numbers

Hey all! Have a question in regards to the bracket holding an AC compressor in place for a 1987 245. More specifically, I was wondering if anyone had any diagrams with parts numbers? As the bolt that was in it (about 5-6 inches long) stripped itself out through the front (and started trying to work its way into my fan blade, but thankfully I caught it quickly) and I don't believe that it will accept a new bolt, as chances are the threads in the hole are more than likely stripped. I would add pictures of the hole in question, but the files are too large. Cheers!
 
I'm not seeing any 5-6 inch long bolts associated with the A/C compressor mounting. Can you identify which bolt you think it is?

Also, none of the bolts thread into the bracket. They all use nuts or thread into the engine block, so, nothing on the bracket can have stripped threads. If someone installed the power steering pump pivot bolt from the front instead of from the rear the bolt could have come loose and slid out far enough to possibly hit the fan.

It was installed from the front, as it did indeed slide out that way.
 
Hmm. I still have the bolt that slid out, but I'm now thinking it's the wrong bolt. As previously mentioned, it was about 5-6 inches long. I wish I could take a picture, but the files always end up being too large
 
Good to know. So there had to be two bolts then, as last I checked, I was able to stick the bolt partway into the hole in the rear before it hit something, which implies that something possibly snapped.

Yes, there is a front tensioner bracket and a rear stay bracket for the AC compressor. One bolt with a lock nut for each of those.
 
Perfect! All I think i need is some part numbers and it should be a relatively easy fix (Minus having to re tension the compressor. Thank volvo for the multi belt system, as it made it incredibly easy to cut that part off from everything else.)

Edit: Also wanted to say thank you so much for the help so far. Am planning on fixing some minor mechanical niggles, as well as some later performance mods, and this page has been a big help in putting everything together
