I have a set of the 1957 300 valve covers But they do not have
provisions for any oil line hookups like I have read about for A/C
cars.
I can't recall having seen and studied the setup for A/C on a 57,
or at least at this time my memory says, 'Nope ain't seen that annimule 
yet.'

As I understand it 57 being the first year for the 'newer' stuff had 
some 'one year only' A/C parts and configuration.

I have most all the stuff for redoing the A/C system, and some spare 
parts. I am fairly certain that the car has/had factory A/C.
One of the heads that came off the 300 motor has the drilled and tapped 
holes for the compressor mount, I have the little oil thing that was on 
the firewall for the vent operation(??), and lots of A/C stuff in a pile 
after the tear down of the car.

At some point before the car left California it got 'restofied'
things added, things taken off, repainted, and in general more of a hot 
rod. BUT most all the Right 300 stuff was still there.

The valve covers on ebay have what appears to be oil return fittings as 
might have been found on a 57 only A/C hemi.
Is that thinking right?
Would I Need those fittings??

I have dredged up a recollection noting in the brain that I needed to
do something to the valve cover I have to accommodate the oil return??
If the 300's had A/C and had an oil return line dumping into the valve 
cover, I don't have that.

Somewhere here (car is still in shop) I think I need to find the valley 
cover off that engine to check to see if it was provisioned for an oil 
return fitting instead of the valve cover. Right??

Hears hoping this is a lot clearer question today!

thanks!
