    Opel GT with A/C problems HELP

    I have a 72 GT (nice little car) and I am in the process of installing an A/C unit I got off of EBay, problem is the "Complete System" I bought left alot out, lets just say I got a busted console, some cut A/C lines, and a pile of cut wires. So I guess I'm trying this one alone, What I need is a photo of an installed A/C unit so I have some idea of what type of A/C brackets to look for or fabricate & mount and some ideas on where to find a 2 grove crankshaft pulley? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    A/C pulley (two groove)

    There is a pulley on E-Bay (item #8036934524), hard item to find, take a look and see what you think.

    There is a GT close to my house that has a complet AC sys. If you would like, you can call the guy at :229-896-7630. His name is Ronnie Bennett, and he has 4 GTs with tons of parts. He is willing to part 2 vehicles out, nice guy.

    This pulley is a '68 (only year used) CIH air pump pulley with altered belt path for WP and alt/gen (must use spacers)!!! Have notified seller of description error before posting this here!

    Thanks

    Thanks for everyones help, it is a GM setup but from the looks of it I would go with whatever I could find, I had bid on the pulley on ebay but I read that the 2nd grove was to small and was for an "airpump" if its the right one though I'd get it, just right now getting alot of parts that don't work for my car. thanks again

    WP pump pulleys and crank pulleys are completely different and cannot be interchanged, regardless of engine type used!

    ARA or GM A/C crank pulleys

    Makes no difference which A/C system, ARA or GM, was installed by the dealer. All A/C dual crank pulleys used normal belt path to drive WP and alt/gen and drove the A/C compressor by itself off the other pulley. The smog air pump dual pulley moves the belt path for driving the WP and alt/gen forward ~ 1/4" and locates the smaller air pump drive pulley to the rear of it, as shown in the picture of E-Bay item #8036934524. You have to use spacers for both WP and alt/gen for correct belt alignment with this pulley.
