On my 911 the first time I removed the AC compressor I noticed one of the rear mounting bolts was not tight. When I get it off and looked, it was obvious it was stripped. I could cuss the previous owner's mechanic back then. I went down to Fastenall and brought the bolt and photo of the mount. They set me up with the Helicoil kit. The right tap and the coil, and it went in just fine.
I read the manual and found the proper torque setting for the compressor bolts, and made sure to torque them to spec. 27 years later, the compressor has had to come off many time for valve adjustments or spark plug replacements. It has held up just fine.
