I'm not 100% sure, but i would think it would be as cheap, if not cheaper and tighter packaging to go with Vintage or another aftermarket. I wouldn't want a used system from something that old not knowing how it was cared for either. Moisture is it's friend. Just my guess.

I just worked with these guys at Classic Auto Air in Tampa last week. They helped us with AC in our LS swapped Dodge Dakota, but they sell exactly what you are looking for. And their customer service is excellent.

I used a Kwik AC bracket for the Sanden compressor.
