Default A/C help

Hi All, I need some help regarding my 69 A/C project.
I purchased a 69 project car and am trying to sort out the A/C. Problem is the car came with few A/C part so I purchased some on the Forum. However I am not sure what year the condenser is so # is there a way to date it and # 2 does it make any difference?
Thanks Chuck

1969 to 1972 would use the same condenser. Unless you are going for NCRS judging the date, if there is one, doesn't make a difference.

The only difference I would see would be a difference in size. An AC Condenser cools the high temperature, high pressure gas back down to high pressure liquid.
