Replacing a york style compressor.
What is the common method of replacing the original compressor with a newer sanden type? Engine is a 351m, so I don't know if there ever were any factory brackets I could snag at a junkyard. The lines and everything else are in good shape.
Would something like this work?

It just seems a little too cheap.....

All it is, is a new compressor and adapter bracket. Basically the same thing I got from Nostalgic Air when I did my conversion.Nostalgic AC - Aftermarket Air Conditioning For Automobiles The adapter bracket bolts to the original York mount. I used all the factory brackets and idler/adjustment pulleys.
I had custom hoses made but adapters are available to reuse your old hoses.
Mine was a '73 F100 w/ a 390.

I like it. It doesn't have the pull down on the motor like the York and easier to work with as it doesn't weigh that much and is smaller.

Thanks for the input, that's kinda what I figured anyway.
It's gonna start getting warm here in central TX pretty soon so I think I'm gonna get on this. Buck, do you recall where you got those adapters?
