I am trying to get my aftermarket a/c working again and wanted to see if anyone knows anything about these. I am guessing it was a dealer installed a/c unit in 72 but that is only a guess. What I am trying to determine is if it is worthwhile to get it going again and if it has enough capacity to cool the cab or if I should dump it and start over. It seems like a good unit and is in good shape. I will need to get all new hoses and one of my worries is that the connectors are clamps. Any ideas on this? I will also replace the dryer.

Any knowledge of this unit? Thanks.

BTW - This is a 72 SWB 4X4, manual trans.
