[Vwdiesel] missing pieces

I was getting a lot of vibration from the engine of the '85 Jetta TD and
I believe I've tracked it down to a missing bolt on the a/c bracket. Not
loose, but missing.  I guess I gotta start working out and getting the
bolts tighter or something.  I seem to lose a lot of a/c fasteners.
Problem is, since it's missing, I don't know what size it was or what
kind of bolt it was.  Anybody with the ETKA cd ( I REALLY wish I had one
of those) know what fastener goes into the a/c bracket?  It's one of the
bolts that goes into the long slot that adjusts the belt tension, the
one on the pulley side opposite the 90 degree adjuster bolt.  I thought
it was just a random bolt, but it almost looks like the tab off the
compressor is threaded.
Much appreciated.
