Classic Auto Air Installation 74 Dart Sport

The compressor bracket is stamped steel and was originally used on a mid to late 70's vintage 360 engine that had the old R4 compressor. Came from a Cordoba I think. All of my refrigerant hoses were pre-made with the ends already crimped. Since I used a different compressor bracket which sets the compressor closer to the engine and higher the high pressure hose was to short to reach so I just had to drill another hole in the core support.

For the right rear of the compressor I made a new support bracket and bolted it to the intake, you can see it in the picture. I did end up using an idler pulley on the right side between the crank and the compressor just to help support the belt. And of course the V-belt they gave me in the kit didn't work because I mounted the compressor differently, so I had to get a longer belt. For the idler, I used an existing hole in the power steering pump bracket to mount the pulley.

Yes they could spend a little more time fitting their system to 73 and up and yes a correct fitting glove box insert would be penny's for them to make. I guess they just don't want to. But their kit does work with a little effort, looks nice under the dash, easy controls, no vacuum hoses to mess with and uses micro switches and a servo motor.
