The A/C fits with a big block, my 71 has a 468 with factory A/C. If you want to get rid of the engine bay part if it, get a Vintage Air replacement system. It mounts completely under the dash and has a blockoff plate in the engine bay. I don't know if you can do it any other way without losing your heater and defroster too.
