Do I need any special tools to put on the A/C clutch on a 73?

The compressor is already installed on my 400. Do I need any special tools to install the a/c clutch? It's factory a/c RV-2 compressor. Where should I install the oil on this compressor?

First, install the clutch coil with the wire facing up.

Then install the clutch on the tapered shaft, be sure there is a Woodruff key in the shaft and that it's lined up with the keyway in the clutch bore. To tighten the bolt with a hand wrench you'll need some device to keep the shaft from turning, with a 3/8" drive impact wrench you can hold it by hand.

There is a hex-head pipe plug in the side of the compressor sump, pour the oil in there.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.
