Very nice. You went for the full gusto on this one!
You won't be long now.
I have some more Vintage a/c photos from my old photopoint account I would be happy to send you if you like. My buddy is putting the finishing touches on his 71 compact V/A a/c system right now as well.
BTW, are you running power brakes? If so, that left rear valve cover will have to be chopped down a tad.

Re: *** March Serpentine Conversion installed, PICS!!! *** (groovyjay)
Jay,
my car is NOT coming along :( I am lacjking parts here & there and the customs are not helping. They're sort of "on to me" (they found out it was a little curious that someone gets stuff labeled happy birthday every week or so and that the constant flood of "evaluation samples" isn't normal either)..so a bunch of parts are caught up at the customs and they're trying to figure out the amount they want to stiff me :)
What are you going to run? A hydrobooster? Me too :)

A hydrobooster is just as the name implies a hydraulic brake booster, it runs of the PS pump instead of on vac.
They were used on chevy trucks, both diesel and some gas ones.
The HB is somewhat longer than the vac booster but it bolts right to the firewall.
Norval Wilhelm has one (and some others too I think)

Re: *** March Serpentine Conversion installed, PICS!!! *** (Twinnie)
Twinnie: Do you have to run two separate PS pumps? I've my on a smaller diameter brake booster... :)
MassVette: Do they make their own stuff? That set up looks very similar to mine. :confused:

No, it runs off the PS pump you have. The pressure & return lines are simply T-ed in.
A smaller diameter booster? The C4 booster will probably fit. (haven't tried, I did find out the C4 MC will fit w/ a little grinding, haven't checked the measurements for the booster because I made up my mind about the hydrobooster)
The hydrobooster gives you much more powerful brakes.

Nice set up! Looks like you have one heck of a project to finish. That heater box block off plate is nice too, really a good idea...wish I would have done mine like that. As for Customs (tax generators), they suck :D
