1967 Valiant Slant 6 Missing the A/C Compressor

The Sanden (called "Sankyo" at that time) compressor was used briefly in '78 and may have snuck its way into a few '79 and later vehicles, but most of these cars used the Nippondenso C171, a different (and cheaper, and not as good, though not awful) round-body compressor. Brackets and mounting are not the same between the Sanden and the Nippondenso.

The 79 super six I have sitting in the shop right now, as well as every 78-80 F body I've had that used the small round compressor was a Sankyo. Thats at least 8 or 9 78-80 slants from F bodies, all with power steering.
