I would recommend anti-seize versus axle grease. Axle grease is made for moving parts. Antti-seize is made to keep mated parts separate upon disassembly. Especially under heat.
Antti-seize is rated by temp. 1600 degrees is likely to give enough protection
It is 2021 and MacGyver methods of the 1980s have been replaced by technology.

Well, there you have it, now you know what to use...although in MacG's and my defense, the axle grease never failed in that use.
But yeah, use something to dissipate heat and prevent warpage, and that anti-seize grease looks best. "Where do I find it?" If your parts stores don't have it, check your hardware stores.

Every fast moving parts store will have anti-seize. Including your favorite, O'Reilly's.
And on line as well

Isn't the OP female? I always had that impression. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Okay, knowing what my shop manual shows and doesn't show, I can understand the question. My manual does not give clear guidance on A/C bracket installation, and there are at least three, maybe four brackets all around the compressor. Where those are concerned, I think you'll have to do a bit of guesswork, kind of like a child's jigsaw puzzle that's missing the big picture. But they all come together only one way, so some test-fitting and a few questions asking for verification of the placement (with a few still shots to visually aid said questions) can help us help you.

This bracket pictured has two bolt holes shown on the right that bolt to the left exhaust manifold.
The three holes and bolts shown on the left side of the bracket in the picture bolt to the compressor.
