RV-2 AC compressor 1976 Dart 318

[Tool.Man]

I can't drive the car with the compressor off so I haven't removed it yet. I want to have all the correct parts before removing it.

The front bearing needs to be replaced. I purchased an NB205 bearing. I purchased an MT2034 seal. I'm not finding anything in the way of a compete gasket set.

Is the NB205 the correct part?
Is the MT2034 the correct part?
Where can I buy a complete gasket set?

Contact Original Air Group.
Original Air Group
They restore RV2 compressors, so even though it's not listed online, they have the parts.
(PS- they also have the parts to convert to 134a, too).

Good info. I converted to 134a about 10-years ago

I'll call OAG tomorrow. Thanks.

FYI Original Air Group no longer operates its rebuild facility...

Keep in mind the compressor for a '76 Dart is not an RV2 (10.5 cubic inch), it is a V2 (9.45 cubic inch). There is no benefit to installing the larger-displacement compressor; it won't improve performance or anything, all it will do is take more power from the engine to run.

Can't say for sure that no V2 compressors were used on any 1976 Darts but no v2 compressors and associated parts were listed in the 76 parts catalog.
The last year the V2 was in the parts catalog was 1974.
1975 thru 1979 only list the RV2.
