Hi everyone, my first post since joining. I have a 73 southern GT with dealer installed a/c. It has the GM Frigidaire A6 style compressor. The part # on the tag is also 1131005 as in a previous post. I am still trying to find a direct interchange for it that would use the same hose hook up and maybe just requires some home made brackets. Something smaller would be great. I have some mid 80's VW's with the Sanden R12 compressor so I am going to look at those and see if they would retrofit easily. It actually worked and cooled well when I parked the car 12 years ago to begin the restoration. Needless to say, it's take a bit longer than planned.
