Trying to get some pointers before I buy a kit...for example, E-body unit should be the same right??

I bought this kit but have not got it installed just yet.  https://www.classicindustries.com/product/all-years/dodge/charger/parts/mb184508.html

Here is the Original Air site.  https://www.originalair.com/dodge-bb-73-74-b-body-engine-compartment-upgrade-kit-361-383-400-413-426-440-wstock-parallel-flow-condenser-r134a-stage-2-big-block

Classic Industries price is a pretty good savings.  For what it's worth, I spoke with the Original Air folks quite a bit and got a good impression of their operation and customer service.

Thanks Gold...So you already had A/C then? I'm starting from scratch Appreciate the input!

I believe Original Air makes a kit for non OEM vehicles.  Give them a call.  I'm sure they will answer you questions.

Good Luck!

If your car was originally built with A/C, I bought an engine compartment upgrade kit from Classic Auto Air for $800 back in 2013 that works great in my '71.
