I have obtained the entire system, including dash and underhood wiring, and am hoping to be able to add A/C to my '74 Dart Custom.
Aside from replacing the receiver/drier, PAG oil instead of mineral, new green O-rings and possibly drilling a couple large holes in the firewall below the heater hose inlet...is there any reason this can't be done? My chief concern is getting the wiring right...I have to check to see if either of the brackets I have will mount the OEM compressor to a /6 (the system came from a V8 car, and the '71 /6 I installed a couple weeks ago apparently had a Sanden compressor).
I did read about replacing the condensor with a parallel-flow unit, and something about shielded hoses, but for the time being (assuming that none of the components have inherent leaks) I plan on installing all OEM & upgrading later as needed.
Based on what I've been reading, I'm bucking the trend here, but it's hot as balls and humid in Philadelphia between May and nearly November, and my wife plans on driving the car once my son gets through with destroying it...
