Hi all, I have a 75 TA with a stock 400/th350 auto that had factory AC. Everything appears to still be there except for the compressor and compressor brackets.
I will most likely spend a few hundred on brackets and a compressor regardless. I know I can rebuild the stock system, however I am wary of re-using now 44 year old parts as even if they do work they could fail at any time.

The next option is to use a full vintage air kit. At this point I'm leaning towards that as Pontiac parts are thin on the ground in Australia where I live.

If I was going to rebuild the stock system I'd be looking at:
-new compressor
-new brackets
-possibly new vacuum switch and tubing
-new heater core (which I have)
-possibly new evaporator core
-possibly new blower motor and fan (which i have)
-any other bits that arise/need rebuilding

Originality is not a great concern, but I will be keeping the stock stuff in case some weirdo purist wants stock AC over vintage air if I go that way.

Does anyone have any thoughts either way?
