Sanden 508 is 162.00 you will need anew drier, fittings need to be changed and orfice for hi and low pressure. Also need use 134 instead of r-12. Also a new thermostat on cold side.

Hoses can be reused, just change fittings?

I recently did a Sanden Conversion on a big block using these brackets.https://nostalgicac.com/mount-kits-...or-brackets/3010-big-block-mopar-bracket.html I used the original condenser, replaced the drier and had a custom set of hoses to the compressor made. It was an inexpensive and very solid conversion that worked very well.
