The tabs on the rear evaporator housing were only in the early years.
In later years, they were removed and a different mount point put in.
My local dealer fabricated metal brackets to use the original mount
points and help support the evaporator housing. Pretty simple really.
Just a 1/8 piece of  bent steel with holes drilled in it for the
bolts. Paint it a color similar to the housing and it is hardly
noticible
