AC Compressor Change
Hi guys.
I am going to change the AC compressor of my 1971 442.
I recently bought one of the remanufactured ones at rockauto but when I installed it I noticed that it had a problem with the clutch and it was possible that it had the flu, so I decided to open an incident with the website and buy another one.
I have seen another of the Four Season brand, new, that I may buy.
A friend has told me that there is AC with modern specifications and with better performance.
Do you know of this type of compressor? Is it worth changing it for one of these?
Thank you.
Regards

I used the Original Air Group's Sanden compressor conversion kit on my 67 Delta. Their bracket is very nice with a ton of adjustability to fit nearly any situation. I also converted to a clutch cycling orifice tube system at the same time.

Joe, did you use one of the kits for the 68-72 Cutlass? I noticed they had Stage 2 & 3 kits for earlier Oldsmobile A bodies.
