RE: [Chrysler300] 1960 air conditioning

Hi Ron, 

Yes, the radiator is different  (offset upper hose connection)  and also has
a shroud. Also the thermostat housing is different  (angled) . 

To correctly change over a non-air car to air conditioning, I would strongly
suggest buying a parts car that has factory air, with all of the a/c
components intact.  There are many, many underdash components that are
different as well.  

There will be some chopping / cutting to be done to the firewall,
unfortunately. For that reason alone, it is probably NOT a good idea to hack
up your original letter car.

John,
I appreciate your expertise on the 60 air conditioning, I'll try to rephrase
my last inquiry. Other than the obvious air compressor and brackets, dryer,
condensor, idler pulley, crank and water pump pulleys, are the radiator and
water pumps different? What do I need under the hood to install factory air?

Upon looking closer at the suggested heated switch (part 03848654 ) I
discovered, not only a serious problem in mounting the S shaped pushbuttons,
but it also has one more button. Your assistance is appreciated.

Ron
