Hey guys. I have a factory 3rd gen A/C car but of course when I bought the car most of the A/C parts were gone.
I have the assembly manual and can see that it goes on the passenger side fender well area next to the battery. But how? I don't have the brackets and can't really see how it's suppose to be mounted even if I had them.
Does anyone make repop brackets for it?
Thanks....

Anyone? Even a picture would be great!
Any recommendations on the line that goes from the drier to the condensor?
PLEASE HELP.......... Thanks!

As far as your hard lines you can get u-bend'm lines from Vintage Air. I'm not sure what style of fittings you need though.

My '71 had the drier up inside the passenger side fender. You know, mounted on the inner fender under the regular fender and back behind the battery.

Exactly! I know that's where the factory location is but I need the bracket, if there is one? Again, any pictures would be greatly appreciated too. If you have the bracket I'd buy it from you!?

No problem. I sent you a PM. If I still have it you can have it for the shipping. However, it is so hidden up under there that you could fab up a bracket out of something gnarly like perforated strap and no-one would see it.

Year One sells an A/C line that goes between the condenser and drier, but, do not buy it. It is not even half the length it should be. I found out the hard way.

The drier brackets are just below the drier in the pic. The hoses are the factory ones that run from the condensor to the expansion coils. Send me a PM if you want me to ship them to you.

I have found that many of the A/C parts are available from Classic Industries at reasonable prices. try this link:
