Lightbulb Latest Kadett A/C install update pics

Might give others considering A/C some ideas, so here's my latest Kadett A/C WIP report with pics:

1. Right side alternator installation: installed regulator on right side radiator frame, extended correctly color coded alternator wiring loom, mounted '80s Scirocco extended alternator pulley, cut 1/2" off lower radiator hose for pulley clearance, modified '80 Accord alternator fan guard, modified '68 air pump bracket and fabricated alternator belt adjustment bracket. Alternator is driven by a single P/N 13300 V-belt off the back A/C dual crank pulley.

2. Left side compressor installation: machined original alternator bracket for use with ND10P08E A/C compressor, machined .540" WP pulley spacer and modified stock alternator belt adjustment bracket. Compressor and WP are driven by a single P/N 15375 V-belt off the front A/C dual crank pulley.

3. Front of radiator condenser installation: trimmed front of radiator sheet metal for condenser clearance, welded two GM O-ring style fittings to condenser in place of hose barbs, fabricated condenser mounting brackets, cut two holes, 1" and 1.375", in radiator mount sheet metal for A/C hoses and fabricated 'high-side', compressor-to-condenser O-ring style hose assembly.

4. Left side receiver/drier installation: modified '80 Accord coil mounting bracket to fit slightly larger diameter receiver/drier, mounted assembly to back of left side radiator mount sheet metal, fabricated 'high-side', condenser-to-receiver/drier O-ring style hose assembly.
