302 AC Conversion Help

Hi,

I'm adding AC to my 79 F150 and I bought a factory conversion complete except for the compressor and brackets. What years and engines can I get the brackets from at the bone yard? Can I use van or later truck brackets? Do I need to change any pulleys? Part numbers would be great if anyone knows them.

Thanks in advance!!

Was this a factory installed, integral A/C (big evaporator housing in the engine compartment) or dealer/aftermarket unit (fits entirely behind the dash)?

I purchased a complete factory installed AC setup, minus the brackets and compressor.

Are the pulleys the same as a non-ac truck?

If you have this pulley I'd say yes
D5DZ-6A312-A Marked D3DE6312AA 4 shieve
Check your pulley, it should have that ID number stamped on it.
Here is the page from the Ford parts catalog showing all the applications for that one pulley.
