AC Condensor (Air Conditioner) - Where To Get New?

[PabloCruise]

You can't beat that price that JMack posted, but this is the one I used:

Nostalgic AC - 14 X 20 Superflow R-134a Condenser

^This one is about 2" wider.

Did you use factory holes in the passenger side of the radiator cross member?
I have holes spaced 11” on Center.
Do you have install pictures in your build thread?

I found these pics: New Mexico Pig Build

Looks like you went Sanden compressor?

I can't tell from the pictures if you used factory holes in your rad cross member...

And then found these replies from you:

Pablo, I didn't list the parts I used, but I will now. I bought everything from Nostalgic AC Parts:

compressor: Sanden style 508 v-belt double groove
condensor: 14x20 superflow r-134a condenser

I have the stock a/c bracket that is integrated into the motor mount, which is different from your 3fe bracket. The compressor wouldn't bolt on directly to that bracket, so I did have to make an adapter. It took a few tries to find the right v-belt, but Napa had one that works. If you need anything else let me know.

Pablo, The condenser fits great. I know my pics suck but I used some aluminum angle on each side to make up the difference. I wouldn't go wider, you need that wiggle room to be able to use a wrench to install your a/c lines . I bought the stock setup from Paul (3_puppies), which included everything right down to the bracket that holds the drier. I did install a new expansion valve. I used your a/c resource thread and followed cruiser Matt's?, thread on swapping them out.
Not that you want to re-do anything, but did you ever try using the earlier compressor mount like mine? Not sure if the motor mounts are the same for the 2f versus the 3fe, but it was pretty easy making an adapter for it . It also kept the condenser lower, under the alternator .

I'm pretty sure I had to do some cutting to open up the holes for the a/c lines, but not too much.

If you get a chance can you measure what the inlet and outlet spacing is?

Center to center of inlet and outlet is aprox. 12 1/4"

Thank you!

Sorry, I will try to be more clear.

I was trying to do 2 things in this thread - 1) ID the condensers I had, and 2) find the best replacement to fit my Pig.

The more I think about it, I am pretty sure the condenser with the goofy tabs is the one that came with my Pig. When I got her, the engine was out, and the radiator and condenser were in the back.

I think the one with nice looking mount tabs and holes maybe came from a factory air Pig? I don't see any mount holes to fit that in my radiator crossmember.

Old thread but yes that is a "factory" AC condenser which as I understand were installed by the dealer (or port) in the US. Part number, FWIW, is 88460-60020. I have a new one I would like to install but also no tabs/mount holes. I know you are way past this process but thought I would add this information for others in the future.
