A/c condenser question

[Kain]

I found this at oreillys and rock auto version is about 30 dollars cheaper. my question is how does it mount?
the one I have is lmc but is 200 bucks and mounts with screws. this comes with rubber feet but what holds em in place? Want ac again. found a hole in current condenser when trying to get is to hold charge last time.
link bellow for visual about mounting feet.

It sits in the bottom pads, then the top ones slide under the upper bar of the radiator support. One screw per pad holds them.

I believe that is the same one that I put in my '90. I used Redtek R12A. My cycling switch was screwed in all the way by the previous owner, which gave me vent temps in the high teens because of the lack of humidity here. I am betting that you will be able to get temps in the low 30s with 134A .
Pay attention to the lines on the condenser to make sure that they don't rub the radiator and are supported by the clamp. The one I got took some tweaking.
And just because another member didn't believe me, here's my pic again!
Don't try this with your humidity! You will freeze it up!

Be aware that most of the aftermarket replacements won't be the same size as the stock one (typically smaller) but it's not a big deal to move the mounts around to fit it.

i learned that the orielys ac condenser is a specter unit and it ome with the little rubber feet and metal brackets that hold them in place. in forth pick is where the one on driver side sites and you have to persuade it to cooperate. it doesnt want to fit in between the slots there in last pick.

before i can charge though i must extend ac line to it top in from compressor doesnt stick out as far as rock auto piece that it replaced

p.s. pull radiator would save some headache ,the bots that hold feet in place are tight with radiator installed
