1966 dart A/C setup in a non A/C car help wanted

Hope this helps somewhat - the drier is in fact a horizontal unit with inlet/outlet on the ends, so if you have all the factory lines/hoses, you'll need that style drier. I'm not aware of any new or reproductions of them. Good news though - if you have one, that AC place down in Tampa will rebuild them for I think $90 or 95. I sent 2 to them and they're now sitting on the shelf (capped of course) waiting for me to get to that point. The drier lies about midway on the horizontal part of the inner fender. The water valve is to the rear of the drier. There might be dimples in the sheet metal for the appropriate mounting locations - there is on my 65 'vert. After I get back from helping my youngest son with some plumbing, I'll position all the components in the empty engine compartment of my 65 GT 'vert for pictures

I "think" I might have an extra, crappy looking early A drier - I'll have to dig around and check. IIRC it might have come off a 66 Barracuda and was rusty and pitted.

Thanks. cool waiting on pic's
I do have some of the hoses(of course they were cut off to remove) but will have new ones made up at the local hydraulic hose shop.
found the dimples and have the water valve screwed in for mock up purposes.
look for that drier if you would and I'll see about getting it redone. I don't have a good one to use for either car.
pm me with a price will ya thanks again.

I just followed the wiring diagram in the factory service manual and will have to fab up 2 dark blue wires with the correct ends and 2 dark green ones . other than that it'll be ready to go (that is after I finish the engine)

if I can't find a good drier for the wife's car I'll just Adjust the inner fender on the passengers side to use a Jeeps upright shorty style canister. I shouldn't have to do much massaging on that panel right behind the Alternator bump so I can get the upright one mounted on the frame rail. The inner splash shield doesn't bolt that far back so I should be ok. I might have to break down and do mine. but I hate messing up the paint. I do have a 92 jeep one that's brand new and the mounting bracket from an old projets that had some leftover parts. hmmmmm now ya got me thinking.
