Default '64 GTO AC restoration.

My next project on my '64 GTO is to get the factory air conditioning working. The system is mostly complete, except for at least one line, the vacuum actuator, and several vacuum hoses. The compressor, brackets, condenser, evaporator, dryer/receiver, poa valve, expansion valve, wiring harness, etc. all appear intact and functional. I know there are a few fittings missing from my tripower as well. Can anyone recommend a good source for these missing AC parts? I believe the '64 (and maybe early '65) system is unique, and most of the restoration parts sources don't carry much. I've looked at Old Air Products and Classic Auto Air and don't see much for '64 either. Any help would be much appreciated.

buy the cd manual or the paper AC supplement manual so you can figure out what you need. most of the pieces are available.

Good idea engineer - I am after a paper manual, but have been unsuccessful thus far. Will settle on the CD if I have to, but I hate to cough up $50 since I have all of the other manuals already.
