What's missing?

[Troub]

Hello all,
Any idea what I'm missing from the bracket to the right of the a/c compressor in the attached pic? I can't figure it out at all. Lots of puzzle pieces to put together with this car but I'm having fun!

That must be a replacement compressor, it should have a head like the other side.

Thanks fellas,
Would the A/C system in my 67 Dart have definitely been the same as those in your cars? Same system across the Mopar world in that era?

Is this a Factory AC car?

It is a slant six and factory a/c, still has this window sticker which I think is awesome. The compressor does have two heads, that side pic is deceiving. Still trying to figure out what was on that bracket....

Look at the other head, there is a flange cast as part of the head, this head should have that flange as well (to the rear).

It's not that something went on that, but what the dryer can bolted to.
Problem is I can't see were it could have been unless it and the block with the fitting that goes to the compressor was flipped over to those two inline bolts on the back side of the other compressor head.

Is it possible that's the way it was?

Found a better pic....

So TrailBeast you are saying it's just a mirror of the other side?

 

[Cuda Al]

Yes I can see that it is a two cylinder compressor, the head in the picture you posted (driver side) does not have this ear/flange, this is part of the head (look at the other head), there is a left and right head, they are not interchangeable.

So dryer on the right and the can on the left is? My Haynes Manual is not that helpful with the A/C system.

Here is another picture that should show what I'm talking about.

Ahhhh I get it now Cuda Al, thanks for that pic. Well what the heck with my driver side ear flange? That's strange. I will have to investigate it tomorrow in the daylight.

So after checking the compressor over today it looks like it was worked on at some point and the driver side head replaced with some line-routing going on.
