Have you any plans to re-install an A/C compressor and add a power steering cooler?

Nope but almost everything on the front needs to be swapped. You will need a timing cover, water pump, crank spacer, harmonic balancer, alternator bracket, p/s bracket, crank pulley, water pump pulley, p/s pulley, p/s pump, p/s hose, p/s cooler, a/c lines, a/c compressor, a/c idler pulley and bracket. Just naming the stuff off the top of my head. About the only parts i was able to reuse was the alternator. I can also get part numbers if you like. I tried my best to get all the part numbers for the harder to find parts like bracketsLithiumCobalt wrote:So, is there an actual parts list of everything needed to do the swap?

Will most likely be installing a reman'd '70 compressor at a later date. Will be receiving a cooler just as soon as I can trust the car to make it around the block. Currently lacking in performance, brakes need to be bleed more, and something either failed or came loose tonight while backing it into the driveway. Acts like the battery is unhooked. Lotta issues with this car. The power steering was just 1 big hurtle.elcad70 wrote:Have you any plans to re-install an A/C compressor and add a power steering cooler?

Holy shit. I think I will just buy a 70 or 71. Good to know it can be done, however.

Stock fuel line routing from carb around temp sender and distributor past AC Compressor.
I thought I had shot pics to the pump and I did not find them.
