As for AC, my personal opinion would be to look for some type of kit which you can fab into it. The old AC was never any good, and by todays standards would never perform as well as the new items. The hardest part will probably be the interior plumbing of the AC Heat Exchanger and the plumbing of it into the current system. On the engine side, the newer pumps are so much smaller than the original. Would need to fab up the mounts and belt part. Of course, would also need to run the radiator for it to the front with piping, condenser, etc. I personally would look to see if I can incorporate a better fan into the system for much better air flow through the vents. Anyways, just my thoughts, I will be curious to see what others have done or think.
