I see an AC compressor but don't see a condenser. Are you in the process of adding AC and that is not installed yet or was it mounted somewhere other than in front of the radiator? I think I see hoses that are either laying or maybe going under the car. If positioned somewhere else does it also have a fan? Any photos of the AC install particularly the compressor, bracket and belt drive would be nice as a reference for possible options if anyone else wanted to add AC to a prewar model.


I'll take as many pictures of the entire A/C set up as I can before I button everything back up. Personally, I would rather remove all the A/C components because I don't need it where I am. But that's nearly impossible to do, seeing as it was built into the car during the restoration.

The A/C condenser is underneath the passenger side fender, below and behind the sidemount. There is a separate fan on it. There is a massive unit in the trunk, and a separate air handler under the dash.
