I couldn't find a pic of the VW/York-but I did find an interesting site www.gilmore-enterprises.net
They have a smaller compressor with a wide belt for the air cooled engine.And they have a condensor that mounts under the body.So maybe I could install a/c with the condensor mounted under the frame with an electric fan like the hot rods do with a tranny cooler.(I don't want the condensor seen when the shutters are open,and I don't want to cut holes the fire wall.)
I don't know if I can fit a extra pulley to the front of the engine do to lack of clearance at the radiator.

The newer Packards may have more room under hood.

I'm running a 50 amp delco 6 volt positive ground alt.on my 38 and I love it ! So If the Hudson guy got the clutch worked out and you can find a blower motor -It might only take some fabrication of brackets and hoses to make it a very cool ride !
