Pretty much what the topic says... original AC system firewall forward. Is everything under the hood the same on a 383 and 440? I know there are a lot of differences between the routing of AC lines on a small block compared to a big block. Just making sure 383/440 is all the same when I start trying to find original equipment for my 69 R/T restoration. I know going aftermarket would be cheaper but I want under the hood to look stock.

Also, are there differences between 68,69,&70 systems or are they the same? I need to know what all is correct for 69.

Yes, I know I have too many cars. My wife reminds me daily.

69 is unique, and I do believe the setup is the same for 383 and 440.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
