Restore factory ac or go aftermarket

I went with the OEM pieces on my 69 Dart. I converted to R-134a and it works like a champ. I actually used the 70 and newer WP, pulley arrangement. I had the original hoses rebuilt at a local HYD shop. I know the old RV-2 compressor is a HP eater, but nothing cools like one either. She blows 34 degrees.


This is exactly what I'm doing with my 69 Barracuda. 70 and up Water pump and compressor bracket for the RV-2 compressor. The 70 and up pieces are easier to find than the earlier pieces. The dual belt drive is also a better system than the 69 and earlier single belt drive
