I am missing almost everything for my 68 Dart a/c. I have the controls in the dash, the evaporator under the dash, and a Sanden compressor. I will need custom lines, as I have used the inner fender to mount a couple accessories. What do you recommend for a condenser, drier and expansion valve? I would like to get better performance from the A/C, as I live in Phoenix and it's brutal in the summer. I will be using R134. Thank you!

I know this is a little off base but what are you using for a radiator? I will be selling a nice 2898031 that is currently in my 340 swinger probably in the next month or so, just wondering.
 
In my opinion the factory heater box/evaporator is superior to aftermarket systems like Vintage Air. I also see no fault in the rv2 compressor. As far as cusom lines are concerned you can but the fittings and rubber, mock it all up, mark it and take it to a shop for crimping. They make a r134 expansion valve, replacment drier and condesor for your car. I would call a few vendors and check availability before making any major plans.

I'm running a 4 row aluminum radiator with a dual electric fan.

Than you for the reply. I will look around and see what's available. I have a couple local AC shops the should be able to handle the lines.
