Yah I know, real hot rods don't have air, but you not married to my wife!!! So, I need a recommendation on the smallest A/C compressor available. I need something smaller than the Sanden 508. Ihave read the Sanden 505 is smaller, but have never seen one. Any recomendations are appreciated. This will mount on a '79 Buick 3.8 Turbo with a mini-alternator. Dan '28EssexNQS
here's a 507 I pulled off a 5.0 mustang about 20 years ago. it was part of an add-on AC system, but the owner added a Paxton blower and I had to find and install a factory compressor to make the brackets/pulleys all work. So this thing's been sitting in my shed ever since, waiting for someone to want it. Also shown between two 508ish compressors for size comparison
A friend of mine used a 507 from a Porsche 911 for his AC install on his Anglia street rod with a SBF... it looks just like the one squirrel posted.

Thanks to all who replied. I have a 60 amp alternator, should handle it. The 507 looks good. Now to find a good supplier. Just remember, "move faster, I here banjos"! Thanks dmarx
