AC system difference? 68-69 Barracuda.

I have found a small block 69 barracuda with all the under hood AC stuff intact.

What are the differences (if any) between a 68 and 69 setup?

no difference I know of other than is it factory or dealer installed.

Factory installed systems.

Zero difference between factory systems in '67-'70 A-body. Trivial differences between '67-'70 and '71-'72 (different kind of heater valve).

The firewall is different between an A/C car and a non A/C car. Did your car have air originally?

'67-72 condensers were the same, '67-70 Evaporators were the same, but I think the engine parts changed in '70. The '68 system is a one belt setup with a crank pulley made like a harmonic balancer. By '70 they went to a two belt system and solid crank pulleys. All the brackets and pulleys changed in 1970 so I think the '69 is like the '68.
Thanks, Mark

Yes my car came with AC. I am just missing some of the under hood parts. This 69 will work out well. I can take pics of everything as i remove parts.
