69 Mach 1 engine bay
The shaker top was not installed for these pics.
The ps pump, AC compressor and clutch are from Advanced Auto. The ps pump was spec'd for an '85 Mustang. The AC from an '84 F-150.
I'm torn between the nostalgia of keeping it looking like it did in '69, and the functionality of a restomod. I have several NOS hoses, and reproduction stuff all over it, but there are some things you just can't hide (like the AC compressor).

i kinda like how that compressor at least keeps the stock looking lines and connections on the side. i can't stand the the sanyo coversions that have the lines entering from the rear and back, i like the more stock appearance of the way you have yours hooked up.

That was one of the big plusses for me as well. The '84 F-150 (and I'm sure other years as well) uses the same compresser as the Fox Mustang but it has a single sheave pulley. I rotated it 90 degrees clockwise to put the hose connections in the stock location. The original suction hose just screwed right in to the Fox Mustang suction fitting. I used one from a Fox because it has the schrader valve built in. The Discharge fitting required some custom fabrication. It uses the original discharge valve that came on the '70 and up York compressors.
i have often thought about having someone make an ABS plastic (or some type of composite) cover made to look like a stock york compressor to use with something like the compressor you used. i never knew what compressor to use either, that would allow the stock style lines to be used. now i just to come up with a bunch of money and have someone make the said cover.

Not quite and engine compartment yet, but getting closer, I picked up my valve covers and timing chain cover from the local chrome plating shop, today.
I am painting the car next weekend then I will post some new photos. Thanks for the praise.

^^ Very nice and clean, it's coming along great!
Thanks. The only problem is that the cost is astronomical. I had to rent my dogs out for spankings and sell one of my wife's kidneys in order to pay for it all.
