Vauxhall Astra H - air con compressor - TerryTibbs

Hello i hope someone can help. I started getting squealing noise from auxiliary belt. I looked under the bonnet and noticed that belt was not sitting right so i tried to push the belt back on and the air con pump fell under the engine. The hosesare still connected but it looks like the bracket has snapped. Do i have to replace the whole unit orcan the bracket be changed?

Thank you in advance

If the bracket is a detachable type,then yes it can be replaced.However if it is the fixing lugs that have broken off the compressor then it will need to be replaced.Can't see how it could have fallen off unless the bolts have come undone.
