The complete manual set on AN/ARC-2 and AN/ARC-2A consists of four volumes, 
Operation, Service, Overhaul and Parts.  Overhaul is for major repairs, 
mostly dealing with removal and replacement of major subassemblies, and 
mechanical alignment after replacement.  The only schematic in it is a partial of 
the receiver frequency multiplier.  The rest of the foldouts are exploded 
view mechanical drawings, which are not in the Service manual.  The Service 
manual is for electrical repairs not involving major disassembly.  In other 
words, it's a typical "maintenance manual".  All of the usual schematics are in 
it.

This approach is not unique to the AN/ARC-2.
