Exactly, as shown above, but the 3b has the pump on the other side of the engine, if I am not mistaken. Pass side for lefthand drive vehicles on the 2h, drivers side on the 3b I think the adjuster screw is similar though.
 
Foe the 60 crowd who want 70 series grab handles as in the pics attached, just buy yourself a pair, the holes are there!

Really like the grab handles on the B-pillars. One thing to consider is whether you want the grab handle between the A & B pillars on the drivers side. I added this when I built my 60 and regret it as I seem to catch the top of my head on it from time to time. If you can find the A-pillar handle similar to the 62 you might appreciate that location a bit more. Only bring this up since the headliner is not installed yet. Unfortunately for me there’s no going back unless I want to install a new liner. Awesome build by the way. I’ve enjoyed following along.
 
I dig those, might look into getting a set, unless i have some already and I don't know.
 
I was watching EnginePower just now, and it piqued my interest to do some math. Looks like my 50 thou bore got me an increas of 47.38 cc, making the old 2h a true 4l engine. She came n at 3980cc from factory, but after my build, it comes in at 4027.38.
Them 47cc must have gained me like 1 horse, lol.
 
Correction, 0.050 is 1.27mm.
End result is actually a gain of 112.24. That must be 2 horses of gain! Makes the motor 4092.24cc
 
I bought an ac compressor for my pickup since it's the only thing that's bad on that. Old comp leaks. Still the original on there.
I was planning on buying a 12v comp for my 60, as well since that comp has an internal leak and overpressurizes the low side. The 24v comps are really hard to find, so I was planning on swapping clutches. The best source for those is Australia. Anyway, long story short is that this US 2.4l pickup truck compressor looks identical to my HJ60 compressor! I'll mount it, if it fits, looks like I found my replacement! I wouldn't have a clue about internals and such, but I assume it's the same. If it physically fits, and I think it will, I will be swapping clutches and I will have my AC sorted again.

I am sure it can be made to work! Hopefully the manifolds on top of your old compressor bolt right on - they are absolutely unobtainable now :(

Maybe consider new hoses, a new condenser and a new Receiver/Dryer.. these are not terribly expensive (all things are relative though and everything wants money spent on it).. A few images of my recent A/C rebuild here: A/C Rebuild Photos - Pavement Princess
 
Thanks for sharing. Awesome work there on your end! I think the manifolds may work. We will see. Everything else in the system is refreshed. The comp just started acting up recently, after I got the vehicle back on the road. Not sure if I can find a local shop to rebuild. I'll just see how this goes. Makes for a cool experiment.
 
Took the new unit apart separated the clutch. Got my old comp out, took that clutch off and did a comparo. So far everything from my old unit, fits right onto the new one just fine. Measured the neck sticking out, it's the same size. The manifolds also fit perfectly. Looks like this may actually work.

Alright, so in the process if buttoning this up, i decided to make sure the mounting holes on the new comp matched. While erything worked, manifolds and all, the mounting holes on the new pickup style compressor, on the top side, are not far enough apart. It's about a 3/8 inch difference. This exercise proved that not all pn's are interchangeable, but i kind if knew that. Well, the new comp goes into the pickup as intended, and back to the aussie source for an hj60 compressor.
I tried my old one again, but the high side will not pressurize,
 
Update:
In true Toyota parts interchangeability fashion, I managed to find out by proding under the hood of @Christian BT 's 62s, that the AC compressor might fit my HJ60. ordered one, and it's now bolted up! Everything fit, manifolds, mounting bosses and all. Ofcourse, I had to swap in my 24v clutch. It's now evacuating, and then will charge the system just in time for summer.

The AC works works great, nuff said!!
Its such a sweet feeling when its gassed up, and you fire up the system and hold your hand in front of the air outlet and slowly feel the temp drop.. such a relief.
