Anne,
Please find below a photo showing the compressor position when it was first installed. The smaller photo ("later AC install") shows what it looks like now, using the Chrysler A/C compressor and a period alternator.

It will actually be easier on the 409 than the 411, because on the 411 we had to remove the pump for the self levelling suspension, then move the (new) alternator to the other side of the engine, before mounting the compressor where the alternator had been. I can't recall why we didn't just put the compressor where the suspension pump had been, but it was done a long time ago!

Regards,
Kevin
