factory air pulley set-up 440

[Ryan.C]

I am in the process of putting together a 440 for my '69. I currently have none of the front end accesories, with the exception of an aftermarket alluminum water pump and housing (no pulley). I plan to run a classic auto air conversion kit. I am wondering where I can source the front end parts for this engine? I do have access to a '73 Imperial 440 core that has the factory A/C set up still installed. Will this engine serve a good donor?  11/02/68 date code block, stealth heads, eddy rpm performer intake (If any of that matters)

Thanks Much.

I preface my response with the fact that I know NOTHING about classic auto air systems and what they come with.

Are you only interested in the pulley and belt setup? The way I read your question, "full front setup" would include brackets for the compressor, the condenser, dryer, plumbing, etc?  Some of that stuff is available aftermarket and some is one year only made of unobtainium.

Can you be a bit more specific? Do you have access to an FSM?

To clarify sir, I am only looking for the brackets and pulley's that bolt directly to the engine. The classic air kit comes with a new saden compressor, condensor, dryer and plumbing.

I do have a '71 FSM, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know if the parts are the same for a '69.

Thanks

The '73 should be a good donor for the engine hardware but keep in mind that the crank pulley bolt pattern is a little different. Prior to '72 the pulley had an asymmetric 6-bolt pattern, starting in '72 the pattern is symmetric...requires elongating one bolt hole.
