Hey guys just some forward planning and information gathering to update my current AC system with minimal cost and maximum re-use.
Details: 1970 Plymouth Sport Satellite small block LA 340 swap from the original 318.
Automatic transmission PS PB Factory Heat and AC
Duel core aluminum radiator with duel pullers in a custom shroud! 175 degrees thermostat car runs 180F all day?
Have all the original AC lines and brackets components
Live in Phoenix AZ
Heater lines not connected as I won’t need heat ever here in AZ lol
So Ideally was thinking of a Sanden compressor swap and R converion only. Are there other things I should consider to improve cooling efficiency that are not too expensive?
If I had the money I would just order the Auto Air AC system but unless I win the lotto thats just not going to happen. I also realize getting the old system running is more work than a brand new install.
Thanks and looking forward to your comments and beating lol
