This post is for my notes on the AC stuff:
Moving compressor up puts the back within 1" of the oil filter on the engine
THis compressor is a about 8.5" overall length, which appears to be about the same as one on Vintage air site, the Sanden SD508. Vintage air also shows a SD-7B10 that is 7" overall length. I need to call them and see what compressor comes in the kit for a non AC squarebody. Here are the compressor dims:

Perhaps I could run a gmt400 type of AC compressor. They are pretty low profile but brackets would be more hassle. Here is one on rock auto:

Need to do more thinking on the VA kit, it appears that adding the dash vents can be a pain and I'd lose glovebox space. Here is thread for reference

Trying to weigh the options of VA vs a factory swap.
I could sure use a squarebody parts truck for AC parts, a clutch pedal setup, and ideally an aux battery tray, power windows and locks, cruise, floor shift tilt column, tow hooks. You would think there'd be some rusty affordable ones around here but I haven't been able to find anything with more than a couple things on the wish list above for a good price.
