Default New AC compressor - need a new bolt?

In researching compressor replacement, I came across some notes pertaining to 2000 and older Vettes.
The note said to replace one of the compressor mounting bolts with bolt #11518775.

I assume a small change was made in the compressor in the '01 timeframe, and a shorter or longer bolt is now required in one of the 4 mounting holes?

Is this true, anybody know about this?

Tks,
DG

I want to bring this to the top to see if anyone knows the answer. I need a new A/C compressor for my '99, and I ran across the same info, it said:

WHEN ORDERING 1137031 FOR VEHICLE 2001 & PRIOR, WILL NEED TO ORDER BOLT 11518775.
It must be a longer bolt than the stock '97 - '01 A/C compressor bolts. And I assume this means just one bolt, but is it one or two or all four??

Thanks,
Steve
