59/60 under dash A/C

[Ken Perry]

I have for sale a vintage Sears under dash A/C system. I took it out of a 1959 Cadillac last year,it still had presure when taken out. All hoses were sealed when taken off. It is a complete system,pullies,compressor,condenser,dryer,brackets,hoses and under dash unit.Will work on 59 and 60 Cadillac. I would like to get $300 for it, plus shipping. Can post pics.PM me or E-mail me at  cadmanken@netzero.net     Ken Perry

Just for curiosity sake, I would like to see what one of these things looks like.  Did not know Sears offered them.

I will get it out and take a picture of it for you to see. Ken Perry

Can these under hood parts be made to fit a "54" 331 ?

The engines are the same engine family,the 331 went to 365 then 390.The water pumps are inerchangable,just different heater conections,some after market pumps I found fit both. Anyway from what I know,I think it could fit or fit with little modifications. I think the ballancer 6 bolt pattern should be the same for the pullie.I don't have any 54 Cads to look at,just going from memory. I'm sure a felow CLC 1954 Cad expert would know. Ken Perry

If the hoses weren't cut, I would've been all over this for my 53

Dan,

You can have new hoses made or buy the crimping tool and make your own.

Looks like a neat project.

I wouldn't be worrying about the hoses being cut, as you would need to make up new hoses to the required length, and routing for a different vehicle.

Plus, if you were going to run the newer gases, you would need the newer hoses to stop leakage.

Don't forget this is probably a 12 volt unit. There's a fan in the under dash unit and an electric clutch for the compressor pulley.  Isn't a '54 Caddy still 6 volt?

[Ken Perry]

The hoses on the A/C were only cut were there were no fittings to start with. Then only the ends were cut off. The main hose for the under dash unit has a fitting still on the end.When I took the system of the car the main concern was,don't lose anything,don't break anything and keep the system sealed.  Ken Perry

Just my luck. Lol. I was out working on the 61 and was considering it. Came in to say I'd take it.

If you come across another...

[Ken Perry]

I will keep you in mind Dan. Ken Perry

I missed out!

Putting AC in my 53, and need brackets and pulleys under the hood.

All parts for sale, or information forwarded would be greatly appreciated.

Would these work?

I know the Compressor mounts on the Passenger Side on top of the engine, but where does the bracket attach to the engine?

Many thanks in advance,
