I'm keeping mine with the clunky York compressor for the time being. My car came with both a worn out and rebuilt compressor, but the clutch bearing was toast(double race angular contact and a special size, $40 from a bearing house in Valencia). Being in L.A., you'll be glad you had it. If it works, use what you have and worry about a Sanden compressor conversion later.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
