Late model A/C compressor in 70 Dart?

[tranniedoc]

I've got a 97 360 Magnum in my 70 Dart with the A/C compressor and serpentine belt assy from the late model, the car has the factory A/C from 1970, I want to hook the late model compressor up to the early suitcase. I need to get a condenser/dryer and have the hoses made up. Will I have any trouble getting this done? Is there anything special I should know about... condenser, orifice, hose fittings, etc.? I intend to set it up and have a professional charge it up.
Thanks,
Doug

It will work great. I put the new Nippondeso compressor on my 440 motorhome, Idles smooth as silk, not like a V-2. Just use synthetic compressor oil and choose between R134@ and R-12. R-12 the best, but may be hard and expensive to find.

Cool, I was planning on using R134a. Will I have any trouble getting the hoses made up?

A place called Docs Blocks has all the fittings that you should need. www.docsblocks.com.

any car air con place will be able to make the hoses to suit in an hour or so . Thats if you are happy with hoses , not hard aluminium pipes , thats a little harder
