i have a 1973 Dodge Charger Small block.. it was a factory ac car.. I'm adding back in an under hood kit from Bouchillion performance... i have compressor and condenser mounted , but i think im going to flip the condenser.. I'm down to running lines and putting in the expansion valve and the thermostat switch... Does anyone have photos of there ac lines i can figure out how i want to lay mine out before crimping... thank you much...

also has anyone found a replacement blower motor that blows any harder than the factory ones?

I have a 72 big block 440 with factory AC, not sure if it is at all the same? Let me know what you think and I'll get some pictures of the AC system.

Hi, just doing some reading and see you would like pictures. I have a 440, but the most part you came lay out the hose any way that makes them look organized. Here’s my 73 Charger

This is my own design for the system, but it might give you an idea on layout. Make sure you have enough clipping points if you are running hard lines- mine cracked at a brazed joint and I am going to have to repair it before the summer.

you would need an electric fuel pump for this way but neat install

Install is done. Ac pulls down to almost 42°. It's awesome and I love it. Best thing I ever did.
