The Chrysler V2 A/C compressor would grenade above 5,000 rpm. Not a pretty sight! So it was a no-go with a stick on the high horsepower engines. It also wouldn't fit under the shaker hood on the E-bodies or anything with the air induction style air cleaner baseplate. You could get A/C with a 440/375hp 4 bbl though in both the B and E bodies. It is rare to see. They came with a traditional style air round cleaner unit.
