<VV> air condition question

 I'm in the process of resurrecting a '66 4 dr that I have had in dry
storage for 20 years. The car came with an aftermarket A/C. A really
good engineering job of installing it. It took 4 hours to remove the
York compressor and all the supporting brackets. (big mouse nest under
the top shroud, don't cha know!) Now that it is out, and resealed, I
believe that I should replace the pump with an original Corvair unit in
the correct position. The York was on the left side behind the
alternator.

 

 It is a 140, but I have a 140 mount and only need the compressor and a
bit more hardware. I assume when I bring it to an A/C specialist to
complete the engine compartment plumbing; it should be converted to the
134 refrigerant. I intend to leave the under dash unit and the
evaporator which looks similar like a stock '66.

 

 Anybody out there have experience with this situation??

 

Getting all the information is most of the solution.
