    I have a space issue on a 31 Ford Model A hot rod project and the existing AC Compressor is actually to large. Does anyone know of a small size AC compressor (chrome/shiny)? Thanks in advance.

    You mean like a Harrison R4 that's short or a Sanden SD7 that's skinny?

    I think there's a SD5 that may be a little smaller than the SD7?

    I installed the short Sanden in my 41 PU. Fit perfect in front of the head on the Hemi. Works very well keeping the cab cool.

    Thanks ---- Possibly ---- I need a smaller diameter and shorter unit than the existing normal --- I'm about ready to pull the existing off. The other issue is that this is an open (no hood) build so it needs to look good.
