Can Anything Be Reused?

Golden Scamp- as much as I like the original RV compressors for being virtually indestructible you may indeed find it easier to go with a newer Sanden compressor and custom made lines in making things fit.

340doc- Chrysler did indeed make two displacement sizes of RV type compressors. You will find this listed in the parts books. The RV was something like 9.5 cu. in. displacement and the RV-2 was something like 10.5. They look the same externally and use the same basic castings but internally there are parts differences. That being said once the aftermarket rebuilders got a hold of things they freely interchanged both types and refer to them all as RV-2's. Originally the smaller compressors went on /6's.
