here is pics of it welded:
the other side is the same thing. the only thing i was worried about is not being able to break the weld if needed. but i should be able to break it with a flathead and hammer if i had to.

^ ahahaha did you see my thread? damn that thing took HOURS!!!!! get some PB blaster. and make sure you hit it out first then rotate it (if you know what i mean. like hit the center part where the oil lines are towards the compressor side, then loosen the bolts some more, hit it again, and loosen, etc.) then it rotates easily. but it might take a while, just dont get frustrated!!
