Been slowly working on the AC and finally got all the lines done. In the process had to change compressor (did not notice I had bought an R12 unit instead of R134) which required some redoing of the lines. I used the 55-57 condenser, dryer and line set from VA. The 55-57 radiator support is different than 58-59. The filler panels on the sides have different configuration for the louvers which means the hole for the lines lands in the louver instead of a flat place, but I wanted the dryer on the engine side. Also I had to shim the condenser about an inch so the lines could attach to the condenser, maybe the early supports are narrower too?? This required shimming the X brace out too as shown in the photo. Do not know if functionally it is as strong but wanted to retain the look. Here are some pics.
