Hello all ..

I just got a 1970 with a 351w. The car is in good shape. Most all of what I am doing is proventive at this point
new paint inside and out, undercoating. there are a few small spots on the doors the have some rust and the only big thing is need is the cowl replaced. I hope that helps with a bit of a picture of what I am dealing with.

I am going to pull the engine for better access replacing the cowl, painting the engine, painting and redoing the engine compartment. So now is the time. I am going to add power brakes, power steering, and A/C . Southwest Florida is now a place to be with out A/C

Here is what I am hoping some of you can help me with. I know I am have going to have to change stuff around on the front of the engine for the power steering pump, and A/C compressor. Different pulleys and belts, and mounts for PS pump, A/C compressor, Alternator. I am 99% going with the Borgeson Power Steering Kit but the A/C compressor I have not picked out as of yet.

So can you help me with where to start ? What works with what ? What pulleys will I need ? What mounts will I need to get this all to work together ?

Classic Auto Air, and Vintage Air both sell complete electronically controlled A/C systems, with all the pumps and pulleys needed. Borgeson sells complete power steering kits. There is also an intriguing alternative in power steering covered in last months Mustang Monthly. It's worth checking out. http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/1401_how_to_convert_1965_1970_mustangs_epas/costs.html

Thanks I checked them both out and I really like the Classic Auto Air. But with that came the next problem my 351W is a 4 bolt 1 grove. So now the hint it on for a 2 grove set ...
