1968-70 factory AC parts question

I know this topic belongs under interior but I figured it would get more attention here. I have figured out it's nearly impossible to find parts for OEM factory style heater/AC boxes. Classic Industries pretty much has nothing besides some duct hoses and heater core and ac evaporator.

I need a new squirrel cage fan blade, vacuum hose harness, and a few other miscellaneous items. Anyone know of any companies that specialize in the OEM style systems for these cars? Surely there is something out there.

I need my original compressor restored as well. I'm wanting to keep everything R-12. Any recommendations on where to send it?

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

In some cases, Classic Auto Air and Vintage Air offer some stock replacement pieces. If not, they do have a variety of suppliers.

Can you still even get R12 refrigerant in the US?

Gotta love a '69

I still have 6 or 7 cans of R12. Going to recharge my New Yorker and Charger's A/C next summer.

I believe so. I have a few cans of it in my shed.

I had my whole box restored by Classic auto air, it's working great. Only a few changes needed to move to R-134
