What an awesome and informative thread. I'm installing an original A/C system in my 67 that came with factory a/c. I had some original parts, but had to piece together almost everything. That would have been enormously difficult without this thread, so many thanks to everyone who contributed.
I have a question, does anyone know if the compressor label on page 2 is reproduced? My original label is identical to that one and I can't find one anywhere.
Once again, thanks for this priceless library of information!
