Hello, I’m currently replacing all 3 belts on my 92 and noticed 2 bolts missing on the AC compressor assembly. Just wondering what OEM part number these bolts are or maybe a similar after market replacement. Thank you.

IIRC, it's a M8x1.25 Flanged, Hex Head Cap Screw, Class 8.8 (10.8 will also work), and fairly long (again, I'm doing this from memory) like 30 or 35 mm. If you're in a pinch you can get one from a fastener supply store (Grainger, MSC, etc) or a hardware store. Just to be clear, the OEM bolts are JIS (Japanese standard) not ISO metric, which is all you'll get if you buy an aftermarket bolt. For this application, the difference is academic.

I assume you never had a tensioned A/C belt?

I prefer to use OEM bolts because there are very few US made bolts anymore and and at least the OEM bolts will have passed a meaningful quality assurance check before I get them.

Thank you. It’s been squeaking a lot... I thought it was a worn out idler pulley. Now I’m suspecting this is the cause of the squeak.

UPDATE:
Found M8s at O’Reilly’s. They fit perfectly! Thank you.

You may want to consider new Toyota belts as well. They are inexpensive and wear well.

The belt you have on there is cracked on the back side, so it is on its way out.
