While this is true, the AC compressor bracket is wrong for an A.I.R. car and based on the angle I think the alternator\power steering bracket is wrong for an A.I.R. car as well (not certain, hard to see). I have a hard time believing that someone would track down the correct '67 brackets instead of just removing the smog pump and lines. The bracket for the compressor helped mount the pump so it's very obvious when it's been removed.
Or it was a car that got its engine rebuilt sometime in the last 50 years and they just did a Jasper-style core exchange or salvage yard take-out and replaced it with a generic other engine. No partial VINs in 1967 so without the P-O-P you'd never know besides seeing how close the date code are.
