1965 Coronet with A/C info please!

[yaters08]

Hey fellas, long time browser, first time poster. This car, while I love it so much, has proven repeatedly to challenge me in every fashion.
1965 Dodge Coronet 440 with 318 engine and factory A/C. I enjoy reviving rather than restoring, so that’s what I’m doing here. The problem I’m facing is sourcing parts and schematics for the air conditioning system on this car. Before I tear anything down, I like to know what to expect, what to watch for, and how readily available parts are. I suspect the previous owner had an issue with the heater core leaking as when I bought it, lines were bypassed. I will be testing to find out for myself using water and filling it up. Just in case, what is a good source for parts for my a/c system? Where can I find a compressor? Mine is missing and will need replaced. Probably going to replace most components anyway but need to know what to do with it. Time is on my side as I’m currently working an improper top end rebuild in which coolant leaked in the intake to the oil, and an improper pushrod install broke one and bent several. Thanks for all the help!

Thank you!

I’d like to keep it original, and use existing parts if I can, or oem replacements if I can’t. I’m not a purist but I do like to keep things as factory as possible if I can help it

I have factory air in my 64 fury . It is pressurized yet but compressor locked up. I would like to get it working next summer. Thinking new style compressor.
