My thought when installing it was that if we assume that the connections are in exactly the same position, but the unit is roughly 7 ish inches wider, the mounts should move out by half that from center. Since the unit is also 2 inches taller (the additional 2 inches is along the bottom relative to the connections), the lower mounts would have to be that measurement lower. 4 3/16 holes and 4 1/4"x 1" lag screws later, we're golden. I moved the radiator away for room to work on the top mounts, then connected the spring locks, and supported the condenser with a stand. It made it pretty simple from there to move it around until the position was right and I made holes with an angle head drill, and ran down lags with an air ratchet.
