1976 914 has the, "DPD" dealer installed AC. Still has what appears to be a nonfunctioning Mini Your compressor. Questions; Auto Atlanta has a ribbed belt compressor drive along with what appears to be a, Sanden like compressor. Any experience or information on that set up? Auto Atlanta also has, what appears to be a two condenser front trunk up grade kit. Any experience or information on that kit? I know the AC kits were marginal and should be not used, roll down the windows, take the top off. I get it. My plan is to make the AC reasonably function. Any other information or sources? I talked to Gilmore about a compressor mounting, also ICE, waiting for him to get back with me. ICE is knowledgeable about 914 AC systems. Thanks in advance, Steve V.

Thank you for the reply. Plan is to replace hoses and obviously fittings. Replace/update front condenser or condensers in nose. Replace compressor on engine. Yes, have a trinary switch for high pressure shut down. I know the system probably is not the best but, will give it a go. Has anyone used the, AutoAtlanta condenser kit? Or the Sanden ribbed belt conversion? That appears at present the best way to go. Any other upgrade kits out there? Thank you, Steve V.
