The New Project: Part Deux!

So I am still keeping busy with the car. Through the fellow members of my wonderful support group here and at the Performance Years forum, I have managed to pick up all the A/C parts needed for the car. So I spent the day cleaning and installing everything. I had to pull the front valance and the radiator to get the existing wrong condensor out. It's a shame since it looks brand new but has the wrong upper hose fitting that is pointing downward in front of the condensor. I have no idea what application it is supposed to be for?

I'm glad I pulled the radiator as it had several areas where I could see it had been seaping. Another sad story since it was a relatively new CU477 four core brass/copper unit with no miles on it. Went bad from sitting all those years, I guess. I ordered a new CU477 that should be here next week. I also ripped out all the fan wiring as well as the crazy electric fan that was installed behind the radiator.

Here's an original late 1971 condensor with the correct ends for the rubber A/C pressure lines. This was the before shot, prior to removing the brackets, combing out all the fins, repainting it and installing nicer brackets...
