AC Hose Brackets?

AC Hose Brackets?

On the driver's side, what brackets are used to hold down the AC hose/ line that runs past the battery and to the condenser?
I can't tell exactly the sizes, types or location, although I know one goes on the radiator support.
Pictures- if anyone has some- would be a great help!

Thanks

I know about the hole on the rad support, but am not sure what that bracket actually looks like. Do you have a photo?

Thanks

These are pics I found on Internet from a '70 Challenger. The car have been restored, but I think they are right. I took some shots from my '71 before I took it apart for resto. I' ll see if I can post these.

Thanks for the photos. It actually looks like there are TWO brackets? The one on the radiator support and a second one about even with the battery.
Can you possibly find a closer shot?

Here are two more pics from my '71. As you can see, there are two identical clamps, one on the driver side, and one on the passenger side for the liquid line that goes to your drier. I found the clamps in my boxes. I will try to take different shots from both clamps and post  'em here.

As promised, here is a pic from both clamps. The "Loop around'' type goes next to the battery. The other model goes on the rad support. You need two of those, one on the driver side, one on the passenger side.  Hope that helps.
