A/C parts wanted

Q.Anyone have parts for this aftermarket A/C setup?

A.I am using one of the aftermarket brackets you have shown on my 62 Daytona. I have seen quite a few of them over the years. I like them for the same reason you are considering using one; it doesn't drive around the water pump pulley. The idler pulley is a common off the shelf unit you can buy at any REAL (not awfulzone type) auto parts store. My bracket has a four hole mount for the water pump manifold and can be used with either the early or late manifold. I use an adapter to mount the Sanden compressor to it that is about thirty bucks at Vintage or Classic. I took a small section out of part of my bracket for the heater hose outlet that gets moved to the driver side by either finding an AC water manifold or drilling and tapping one that has the boss there. The Vintage bracket bolts the Sanden directly to it so it gives you a tad more clearance as you don't have the additional bracket. The idler pulley setup they use is also a common pulley with their own separate little bracket. The best compressor to use is the rear discharge Sanden that is a (you will like this) VW application. They are only about two hundred thirty bucks new. you can also use the "top" discharge Sanden if you rotate it ninety degrees and point the hoses out the side. The compressors don't care if you mount them that way. I think I also have an engine with one of those brackets on it on the floor for a future project.
