Question 1997 Jetta 2.0- radiator/AC condensor mounting points

Hey folks,

I'm "reassembling" a 97 I found at auction. One area I can find very little info on is the actual mounting points for the AC condensor and radiator-

I haven't been able to check out a "normal" car yet to compare what's missing, but it would appear that some top clamp is missing. the radiator bolts at the bottom into the front cross member, but it isn't shown anywhere exactly how the radiator is secured up top, or how the condensor attaches.

The radiator appears to have four lugs protruding forward, these are molded into the tanks on each side, but they are not threaded.

the radiator support bracket appears to be there; this is the piece that crisscrosses in front of both units.

Am I missing an additional bracket? this has to be one of the least documented areas of the car I have come across.

I'll see if I can find a cooperative dealer this week who will let me look around. Any help or guidance is always appreciated.

The condenser screws into the radiator with 4 screws and then the radiator sits in 2 busings in the bottom and and then the core support bolts over the top and holds the top of the radiator with 2 more bushings if I remember.
