All our cars originally came with one of the QR clamps on the AC end
of the input bellows. The body end was always a screw tightened
version. The QR versions often got abused and deformed, and were
eventually lost. I figured out that everything sealed and worked just
fine with no clamp at all on the AC end. I still have the QR clamps
on most of my cars, but I'm careful with them.
