If you don't have a dealer kit; This is what I have seen.
Larry Miceli from the Gold Coast BSCC did a real nice job with an air box
from Classic Air out of Tampa.
A Sanden Compressor. which alot have people have switched out the old York
for. ( me included)
a Bracket to hold the compressor, which adjust and eliminates the belt
tensioner, that was made by Dean Houston. "British Sport Car Works"
I believe he has the pattern and could make another.
An original pulley that replaces the fan adapter. ( hard part to find)
I happen to have a replica. ( YFI )
I had emailed Vintage for a condenser replacement, but I have misplaced the
info on that. I need to replace mine since I have a new compressor that
uses 134. and I need a bigger condensor.
The air hoses will run to your air vents.
The drier and hoses can be obtained from a local A/C installer.
I conned :) a friend into making me up a copy of the A/C knee pads.
For an original install I would refer you to www.shoalsbritishcars.org
Installing Original Dealer Air.
