RE: [Chrysler300] what to do with ac

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy, 

I know what you mean about the big ugly York compressor.  Sure looks out of
place.  My 3 speed Newport had one with an underdash unit, and I deep-sixed
it with no regrets.   Yes, the old RV2 is what we are used to looking at;
however, the very superior performance and small size of a modern Sanden
compressor would be the way to go, in my opinion. After all, if it isn't
factory installed, then why not go with something efficient and less power
robbing? Classic Auto Air in Florida manufactures and sells a bracket for
the installation of a Sanden compressor on a Chrysler big block.  And
there's a cool Mopar Muscle article on this conversion:

I pulled the dealer a/c unit out of my G many years ago, and I sort of
regret it.  I didn't do it out of concours concerns, but I did feel it
detracted from the car.  Mostly because the compressor bracket mounted on
the thermostat housing bolts, which didn't seem like a particularly
well-engineered install. 
Plus it was a huge square York compressor.  I recently got offered the rear
window evaporator unit back from the friend who was going to use it in
another car, and I'm giving some consideration to reinstalling it, but with
a Chrysler compressor and factory bracket.

Andy
