IMO - Use/ rebuild your original parts and compressor. Use R12 and you won't be disappointed!

All of my factory parts for my A/C were long gone. I do wish i had fresh air vent like the factory. M Vintage Air system is ice cold

So I’ve started the treasure hunt for parts to reinstall the factory AC.
The car came with a bunch of parts in the trunk.
I have a compressor with a pulley, some brackets and two lines.
I’ll get a new condensor, drier and expansion valve to start.
I have the service manual which has a lot of info but what l could really use is more picturesof the compressor installation.
I don’t yet understand the brackets, pulleys and belt routing.
Id appreciate any photos of engine compartments to get me started!
Thanks greatly for any photos.

I did a hybrid on my '67 Coronet. Everything inside the car is original. Under the hood, Sanden compressor, modern parallel condenser designed for 134, new lines that follow old, new dryer. Blows 38° out the vents. I had classic air send me everything for under hood.
Would you happen to have an under hood pictures. I need all the under hood ac stuff except for the compressor. Sounds like the system you installed works great.

Sorry, I don't have any complete pics and right now everything is off while I'm pulling engine. Pretty basic though, Classic Air has the lines, dryer, condenser.
