New style A/C compressor to old system question:
Hey guys, I just swapped in my spare 350 motor to my 71, and the new motor has a serpentine setup, including the A/C compressor from the 90 GMC it came out of. How can I connect the two systems together (I still have the factory A/C system, all connected, including the factory A/C compressor strapped to the pass. side fenderwell). I am trying to do this as inexpensively as possible, but would really like to have working A/C. The original system still works flawlessly, just need to swap to the new compressor. I have searched, and found very little. Surely someone has done a writeup on this! Please advise.

I have found that a good auto A/C shop can make up any kind of conversion hoses you will need. The 90 compressor should work fine.

Just take it to a local AC shop and have them look at the hoses and make up new ones. If they are a good shop they will know which ends you need. just by looking at both.
