AC Question
I've converted my 71 vert to 134 with a Sanden compressor. I've also installed a C4 fan. I'm trying to optimize performance and the question is - where should the Receiver/dryer be located? I could make it fit alongside the evap case (very tight fit), in place of the overflowtank, behind the radiator to the side, in front of the radiator.
Suggestions appreciated - I've got to cool this baby down so I can drive it during the Austin summer.....
Thanks.

let me know how you work things out with A/C
I am in Austin also, and need to rebuild my A/c system,
and have been considering the Sanden.
thanks, 69VETT

In my '73 I changed the evaporator to an '82 model. This will give you an accumulator system. You also need the orifce tube. The accumulator (like dryer) fit in to the old systems bracket on the side of the evaporator case.
I have a Sanden, C4 fan and 134 too.
But I never got the performance I wanted until I added a new crossflow condensor. Once that was in I have temps to freeze you out of there.
