Can you put the new system from classic auto b bodies into a c body

 

[Big_John]

Probably not.

You could hang an underdash unit in much easier.

Will a B-body [ Fill in the blank here ] fit my C-body?

airparts in Texas makes an update air conditioning conversion to run a sanden compressor with all the brackets, dryer, condenser and hard ware if you had air conditioning from the factory.

Manual A/C in a C-body is pretty simple and easy to get working. Why would you want to put a B-Body system in a C-Body?

 

[polo62]

because mine is missing some parts that I don't even know what they are and its 46 years old would rather have all new if theres a way

Was the car originally air conditioned? It will make things much easier if it was.

Atlas can you post a website on this thread for the airports conversion all I found was for airplanes thank you

 

[polo62]

Yes big john it had a/c from factory

Ahh... If the duct work under the dash is intact, you're at a good starting point.

The A/C stuff was missing from my '70 300 and I'm in the middle of getting it all together in my car. I had to source a new evaporator, switch and a couple pieces of duct work for mine. I bought a kit from http://www.bouchillonperformance.com/air_condition . I got everything I need for under the hood. (new Sanborn compressor, cross flow condensor, fittings, hose, etc.)

That will connect to the evaporator in the firewall/dash. The existing switch will control everything and the cool breezes will emit from the dash just like it used to. The difference is under the hood we have a new rotary compressor and a cross flow condensor all set up for R134a refrigerant.

This really isn't too bad to do and is much better than hanging a aftermarket system under the dash.

Thanks for the info big john that's what I will do I'm just missing linkages and 1 door won't shut tight will this still work with original compressor don't won't to change the original look under the hood thanks again mark

 

[Big_John]

There are guys here that have done R134a conversions with the OE compressor and they can answer that question a lot better than I can. The compressor I'm using doesn't look "original" and while they don't look as bad, neither does the crossflow condenser or the hoses.
