Interesting about the missing oil filter and would be a good place to mount a compressor if they didn't want to mount over the head/manifold like Packard originally did. If so, wonder how they drove it. The only 356 application for AC I have seen info on was the prewars where it was driven off a special fan pulley. Don't think any crank pulley method was ever available but maybe possible to adapt something like the postwar setup to the damper. Guess they could have just used the single normal belt since all would be on the same side. A really interesting set of questions and holes and too bad so much evidence is gone.


Here's what looks like a driver side installation on a 356. Picture from a '47 limo on e-bay. Appears to be a trunk installation. I think I see the oil filter moved to the drivers side splash panel in another photo.

Interesting.
