If your car is a small block, lots of V-8 Dodge vehicles have great A/C and alternator brackets for the 5.2 and 5.9 (i think the 3.9 v-6 is the same too), you could use factory serpentine belt, compressor and lightweight alternator setup, and maybe even the condenser and receiver dryer, no idea on the evaporator and heater box though.

I think vintage auto air has a full kit that uses some factory parts (condensor/evap.) with a new compressor.

I put Vintage Air in mine and it works super nice in the heat.

I was thinking about a vintage air system for mine even though the only kit they make for mopar is 1970-74 Challenger/Barracuda New Gen IV Kit. I have heard it works fine but still a bit skeptical.

Vintage air is only about a hr south of me and I have thought about going down there and talking with them.
