Default A/C Mount: Bolts Snap

Hey guys,

I have a B16 swap, for the past year, one of the bolts on the A/C mount snapped-- 3 times. The first time it snapped, we drilled out the bolt then put in another one.

*Note that when my motor was swapped, the additional A/C mount that bolts to the chassis was not put in.

2nd time, the tensionor pulley bolt snapped. Finally we replaced the entire mount and this time included the A/C mount that connects to the chassis.

Today I drove about 60 mi with the A/C on and the same bolt snapped on the upper A/C mount on the motor. It dragged the A/C belt down and it shifted the power steering belt off and it cut off.

I have heard of other people having problems with the bolts in the mount snapping...

Any idea's what's causing it?

Thanks guys!
