Great ideas.

Let's face it. The CAA system in my 67 FB keeps the engine bay clean. But I don't see an aftermarket system to fit the 72 Lemans. And I don't want to get stuck in some weird fabricating world on interior parts. Sheetmetal? No prob. Fabricating the other stuff? Not so much. I haven't looked into Vintage Air yet.

Now that I see the link with a sub $200 new POA, that makes a very viable solution. Ideally, I'd like to do a poa system if I can come up with a part source. Sanden compressor? Yes. Smaller, lighter, better? Yes, please. I don't care much about originality - the Sanden will go nicely next to my FiTech. I like "original appearing", but don't have the patience for detailed resto stuff. I will use R134.

Modern condenser is a given, and I fully expect to have a custom set of hoses made based on plumbing parameters.

HWYSTR, I think the tipping point was seeing availability of the POA valves.

OPH, PM sent back. We might be able to do some horse trading. I have stuff to clear out that I shouldn't hold onto anymore.
