Paul,
I would be very interested to see some pictures of your AC system.

I had a Vintage Air system installed on my 411 about 20 years ago, but it was a bit of a bodge job and the compressor did not bolt straight onto the intake manifold or the block.

I had an engine rebuild done by a Jensen specialist who convinced me to go with the original Chrysler AC compressor. It is a more tidy installation, but it's performance was very poor by comparison. It also resulted in the power steering pump being at a 45 degree angle which is far from ideal. I later asked Vintage Air about this and they said the modern compressors are far superior in performance.


Regards,
Kevin
