Re: Add AC to '53 {288 ci}

My plan for doing this on my '54 that does not have power steering is to use the 51-54 power steering pump brackets, and power steering bolt on crank pulley, and also use a Sanden compressor. Obviously if you have power steering, then this wont work. But the idea here is to mount the compressor where the power steering pump would have normally mounted on cars that were equipped with it.

This will keep it looking as stock as possible without the rube-goldberg setup of the original 53/54 A/C.

As Eric said the engine setup is the hardest part. Once you have that figured out, there are many options for the interior evaporators.
