After lots of hard work, trying to get the old clutch assembly off, I successfully installed the new clutch assembly. It worked fine but unfortunately oil came spraying out from the compressor shaft so I need a new compressor. I found a 1970 air compressor on eBay but not sure if I should risk getting that one or buying a refurbished period correct compressor. Does anyone know the correct part number for a 71 AC compressor?

If you wanted to mess with it, you might just need a new seal. I posted a how-to on the process years ago with part numbers and tool IDsOriginally Posted by Daveinspain
