So I have all the components for my 68 GTO AC ... it was obtained from a parts car about 30 years ago, working. Sitting on a shelf since then (compressor).
Already installed are a new condenser, dryer (dryer may need to be replaced again).

So I'll need R-12, hoses, clamps, probably oil etc. Looks like plenty of people selling R-12 locally.

Is there a brand/type R-12 I need, or something brand type I should avoid? (how many of those little cans?)

Is there someone that sells a kit that would include hoses, clamps and any other consumable or commonly replaced parts?

I'm going to give it one shot I think getting the OEM system up and running before going to something aftermarket ... or maybe two tries if it turns out I just need a new compressor.

If that doesn't work out I'll go with an aftermarket AC system using modern refrigerant etc.

Thanks,
