what should I do. It is a boat that hold my AC compressor on. It's the one that's in the face of the block.

punch a pilot hole dead center of the broken bolt, drill a hole in the bolt, then put a easy out in the drilled hole. adding some heat to the side of the block may help loosen it up some too. (propane plumbers torch should work)
 
either type of the bottom two. they sell them at the parts stores. you can buy just one, you dont really need a whole set unless you want one.
 


hard ware store carrys bolts. if one of the others match the threads take it to the store, find a nut that fits then find the bolt by the thread pitch and size of the nut.

But I want a new one so I know how far I can drill into the block.

measure a 1/2 inch up the drill bit, then put some tape at the 1/2 inch mark, drill slowly and check often how deep you are.

at a 1/2 deep or so should be enough for the easy out to bite good.
