C3 French Locks on AC cars

[Robert S.]

1974 L48 4 speed vert. with air. Exhaust manifold has no french locks today and have purchased 4 to install. AIM is not clear if locks are used at the right front under the AC braclet or left off. Archives searched but no definitive answer found. Can someone who has an untouched exhaust manifold on an AC car confirm that lock is not used at that location.

I have not seen them used under the A/C brackets but that is just from memory. With the way they are bolted it may not be possible.
