I used a mount system from Billet Connection that eliminates the belt trouble of the Bouchillon design but does require use of a Ford alternator.

This is exactly the mount I have for my A/C compressor. It was a mistake, I should have mounted it high but I wanted it out of the way. I have two problems, one I may be able to fix. First the belt is so short that it is really hard to get it tensioned, I use a turn-buckle type tensioner to force the pulleys apart to get enough tension on the belt. It is so short that there is very little stretch (rubber band effect) and it will start slipping again is just a few days or less. The second issue is that the pulley they sell for the installation is a single grove pulley that bolts in front of the existing pulley. Now there is a single short belt that will not maintain it's tension. I have not tried hard enough yet but if I can find a 2-grove pulley for the crank that will line up with the compressor it will probably help. I talked to the company and they seemed completely surpirsed I was having a problem, they said they have not had any complaints and did not have a 2-grove pulley available. If you see the guy again I would really be interested in his experience with the mount and if he was about to get a 2-grove pulley. This is the mount I have.

Went to a mopar show 2 weeks ago in Doylestown Pennsylvania, they was a gentleman that had a very fresh restored 70 roadrunner with a hemi, the car didn't come with that motor but it was a air condition car he started with. He wanted the AC, the company that restored the car place the vintage air condenser below the alternator, maybe it was even mounted way down by the K member, nice job, didn't even notice it, all fluid lines were hidden, even the air handler was disgiuse with very fine metal mesh that you didn't notice till I started snooping. Going to a mopar show tomorrow in new jersey, maybe he'll be there, I'll take pics if anyone is interestedJohn Wask.....

Did a Vintage Air installation on my '64 Polara. Did a custom dash with the glove box narrowed about 4 inches to make room for a vent on that side. It was a lot of work but I'm pleased with the outcome.

Gary,
Thanks for the pictures. I have the one for the driver's side but not the passenger. Jim sent me a picture of his that looks very interesting that I think I'll look into.
As you know the original A/C car had flip-up vents in the center of the dash where the defroster vents are on the non-A/C cars. I'll pass on your offer for now but still looking.
Thanks
Dennis

(this is the second try, fat fingers screwed up the first one)
Hello,
I installed a Vintage Air unit in mine several years ago. My issue is vents, I would be very interested in seeing how any of you that have done the installation in a non A/C car installed vents. I'm a little reluctant to cut the dash but I'm only discharging air under the dash and a small vent by each of the kick panels.
ThanksDennis C.--
