Re: A/C System

I'm looking into the same thing with my 71. Most of the system is gone but the box with evaporator is still there. It has been left open to the elements for 30+ years so will require all new parts. The only thing I'm worried about is mounting brackets that will work with the headers.

That shouldn't be a worry. On my 350 with a Sanden compressor, I used the standard Vintage Air bracket with a spacer and longer bolt to secure the bracket to the front header bolt hole. That's the spacer behind the #2 spark plug wire. Actually, you can see where I used two spacers there.

Re: A/C System

Nothing wrong with aftermarket systems, but I prefer original.

The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.
