Brad asked for some pics of the AC I am removing from my latest project, 1970 914-6 bought on Ebay from SoCal.
First I have seen on a six but looks much like the 4 systems I've seen. Firewall was notched for the compressor but it is a pretty good job. Here it is.

Is it bad to use copper for plumbing automotive stuff - I am wondering about what I should use for water pipes for my watercooled conversion.

people do it. it's probably not a big deal when using substantial-size tubes for water.
the issue with copper (and aluminum) is that it work-hardens from the vibration flexing and cracks and breaks. little tubes can vibrate and flex; big tubes - not nearly as likely.

i'd think (but have no first-hand knowledge - so this is just armchair engineering...) that using lots of Adell clamps placed pretty close together would reduce and damp vibration.

the big-buck solution is AN-32 braided-steel line but i don't think very many people take that path. fewer after pricing it first :-) ...
