i need to put together a bid to install a/c in a non-ac 61 t-bird with a 390.
looking for a sanden compressor bracket and maybe a pully or two.
anybody have an idea who might make 'em?
not having much luck with VA....

Totally clueless. Unless you could make an adapter for the factory mount I'd think you're going to have to be the first to do this.

I did one a couple years ago, 61 390 in a convertible. I used pulleys and brackets from a Tbird, about the same year. I also used a Sanden compressor, I used a Tbird mounting bracket for a York compressor, with an adapter from Old Air Products to mount the Sanden compressor on the York bracket  http://www.oldairproducts.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=30000000_60000000_69000017&products_id=3538&osCsid=d585859dd9bba823c203d14f1eadcefa

I used an old MarkIV under dash unit I had,worked fine with R134, they are being reproduced now, set up for 134.

You can get the factory bracket from anything with a 360/390, like most any 70's truck. You might have to change the water pump too. But the Tbird, or LTD brackets up to about 69 will bolt right in.

I have a 2005 old air products catalog and they had brackets for a FE with a sanden compressor back then and they have a adapter to mount the sanden compressor to york brackets.  Jeff
