Looking for advice on A/C

Search the Slant Six forum for a thread on A/C compressor options. A modern Sanden is much lighter and more efficient than the old RV2. 1979 Volare/Aspen used them and I have those brackets, though currently working on custom brackets off the power steering pad on the block (for those w/ manual steering).

You can buy retrofit universal condensers ($50 ebay) w/ #8 in/#6 out O-ring fittings. Can also adapt a modern condenser. I put new one from a ~2000 Civic in my 1964 Valiant. A bit small, but parallel flow aluminum (more efficient). The "peanut" fittings proved troublesome to find.
