ARA Air Conditioning Unit

I loved my ARA. The previous owner of my then 70 440-6 car had installed one. NICE and SIMPLE. If you needed to do work it came out of there easy. Mine had a cast iron pulley and you pulled 3 bolts out of the pulley bolts on the balancer , added the new pulley and put longer bolts through. All clamp on "leaky" LOLOL hoses, R12 was cheap then!!!! Later, I swapped a 340 into the 70 440 car, and actually redrilled the compressor mount and managed to adapt the system to a small block!!!
