You are going to need some sort of manifold to bolt to the compressor, and I can't find one. I did find napaonline has a bunch of the hoses for your truck.
What exactly is the compressor ran off of on the accessory drive? The only pulley that seems to line up is directly off the water pump. Although I doubt the compressor is ONLY ran off the water pump, maybe crank, wp, and ac, which means I’ll have to reroute some other belts....
I see what your saying for the manifold to compressor fitting, I was kinda hoping that would come with it, but then again, my compressor looks nothing like the pictures you posted!

When I was looking into Sanden compressor I run into the same thing on the manifolds and be sitting down when you find them.
I found 2 on Ebay and were about $100+ each and you need them!
Think best bet is junk yard and buy the whole compressor for a core and get a rebuilt one so you don't add crap if the JY system had crap in it.

The ones Franklin posted are York compressors, my 81 300 six came with the York compressor. The later years 83 or 84 they started using the Sanden compressors with a 1 V belt and the later years used the surpentin belt.

I did a search in Kentucky for A/C compressor and it asked me what engine, I picked integral A/C with a 460. This is what came up for junkyards that said they have something. Maybe they would have the rest of the system there for parts.

I’ve only seen 1 picture of the manifolds I need and it was a small picture, looks like it had 2 bolt holes and 2 port plugs into the compressor with 1 outlet. And there were 2 of those on the compressor.
Other than that picture, I’ve never seen another! Maybe a oem part number would help to try to cross reference?
Finally was able to track down a busted compressor (fs6) with manifolds on the for a fair price, is it safe to assume they are all the same manifolds regardless of engine size or application? I only saw the 2 part numbers and the interchange was pretty widespread.
i know a few people have shied away from buying $150 manifolds just because they couldn’t make it to the junkyard. But if the compressor had them on and buy it for 1/3 the price....
This is all going to have to come together in the end for it to all mate up and work. That is why the hoses say "with valves" or "without valves". I would look for your hoses before buying those manifolds, to make sure everything is compatible.

By “valves” what exactly is that referring to?
Im going to end up getting hoses made with whatever ends I need. I’ve got a couple places in town that make them pretty cheap and I’ve got the male and female ends.
Even though I posted the wrong compressor, the tee looking fitting is the valve. I would not worry about having the valve, so long as you can get the lines hooked up properly.
