There are other compressors that can be put on your car but I don't know of any that would be a direct replacement. Maybe someone else has found something that'll bolt right in.

I was all set to buy a new compressor for my 77 due to a leaking front seal. But when I started doing research into repairing the front seal I discovered it is more desirable to replace the seal if you have a good functioning compressor due to the lower quality of compressors that are available new.
I bought the tool to take off the clutch, watched a you tube video on replacing the seal, and jumped in. Wasn't hard and the pump held a vacuum on the system when I was all done. Haven't ran it yet but I imagine it should work.
