a/c conversion compressor sources

[auditude at cox.net]

For those interested, I found some pretty cheap sources for Sanden 4509 compressors, and a Seltec.  Ti was right on on the pricing.  There's a lot of places for $240 and higher, but if you look hard enough, they are there for about $200.

$189:

I'm tempted to change my Coupe GT to urq alternator/compressor orientation when doing the R134a/Sanden conversion, for future turbo'ing.

I have an urq fuel distributor, and I'm thinking it wouldn't be too difficult/shabby with the stock Coupe GT long block and ignition, urq fuel distributor, and turbo manifolds.

And if not, then it still may not hurt too bad to have the a/c and alternator swapped.  Shorter a/c hoses maybe even?
