I am considering eventually installing a self contained,60's vintage, NOS after-market AC under the dash of my truck.Are the modern refrigerants o.k. to use in it,or is my venture doomed to failure?Where would the compressor mount?It seems to me I've seen the alternator moved to the driver side,and the compressor placed on the passenger side.Can the older refrigerant still be had?Thanks,Steve.
