Another A/C question

Are you looking for a rotary compressor? I believe the cast iron V-Twins were all the same size - only the brackets were different
 
Check out CVF Racing. They have the smaller Sanden compressor and the brackets / pulleys to go with it. Got mine there and the quality is first class.

I would like to go to the sanden compressor for my 273
 
Vintage Air has a bracket kit for the 69 and earlier smallblocks. From the pictures it looks like it moves the alternator over to the driver side. Just from the way it looks, you can leave the alt where it's at. The part number is 161004. I bought one for my 67 Dart 273, but my original compressor just keeps on ticking although noisy, so I haven't installed it yet. I saw one installed on a 69 Barracuda with a 318-it looked pretty good.

Thanks for your help but it seems 1966 is different .
 
Bouchillon Performance also sells Sanden AC brackets for the small-block, but check years. Probably the main difference in 1966 was the thinner cast-iron water pump. Otherwise, that pump has the same holes and even an extra hole floating in space (for p.s. pump bracket), so seems you could handle slimmer with thick spacers. The pulleys also vary. Your 1966 factory AC may be like my 1969 Dart was, with a single thick AC belt which might have been innermost, though that was a slant. I recall ~1970 the small-block AC had 2 inner belts, but verify google images. Anyway, pulley and belt issues often arise, such as from an after-market crankshaft damper which moves the lower pulleys outward, so many can be solved. The companies selling brackets say "won't fit" because they don't want angry customers flaming them in reviews, but doesn't mean you can't make it work. Spend time on google images and you might find a photo of a guy who solved the "Sanden in early small-block" issue.
