AC compressor options?

[Critter]

I am nowhere near actually making this change over, but I always have questions in my head that I want answers too. I know it is possible to use different AC compressors on our trucks. I would kinda like to find a newer more efficient compressor that would still mount up fairly easily. I can fab up some brackets if I need to. Does anyone have any recommendations for a donor vehicle (for a salvage yard find) or even an aftermarket unit? There is all kinds of stuff on the internet, but I am hoping to get some first hand recommendations from someone that has used one of these compressors. If I ever do this, the rest of the AC system would probably retain the stock parts, other than the small parts required to use 134A. By the way, I am well aware I will probably have to braise the factory manifold to the high and low-pressure fittings on a different compressor.

Use a sanden (sp?), that's what Curtis has. 200 new or you can find them in jy's. I'll ask Curtis what he pulled his out of. From what he says they are highly sought after cuz they're small and do a good job.

Yeah, seeing Curtis' truck the other day is what got me thinking about this. Didn't he get it off of an import car or something? That thing gets colder than hell doesn't it? (I guess hell is a bad analogy for something cold, huh )
