Good luck with it. I've been trying to get my 56 Patrician air conditioned for almost a year.

Mike Dulinski is making brackets. He is listed here in services.

I am as unmechanical as possible, so my comments are probably biased by lack of knowledge.

My sqwak with the vendors is that they provide very little useful information and virtually no numbers on which compressor (or other components) is most efficient or powerful. All advertise expertise with cars like ours, but have precious little to offer in practice. Apparently, they are icapable of taking notes....

Another feature that bothers me is that the installer has to cut hose to fit. My concern is that the hose will not be reliable,,,,

As to the hard to find three ring pulley, some of the Sandens offer a two groove pulley, which means that you do not need the three ring engine oulley.

I'm getting an alternator put on my car so I have ample power, although many report running with the generator.

My mechanic is also fitting a six blade fan, after he enlarges the "universal" mounting centering hole.

Don't mean to be so negative; hope this helps.
