68 Rebel Fact Air Convert

I put an aftermarket system on my two Rogues and used the adapter mounts from York to Sanden. The adapter mounts worked well but I had to shim one of them a bit to get good belt alignment.
New parts will likely have o-ring fittings, so you will have to adapt your fittings or change them to o-ring style.
The Sanden compressor takes almost no power and will not vibrate. The new compressor will not have high and low side ports, so you will have to add them for the type of refrigerant you are using. If it were mine, I would change the hoses to barrier hoses with the correct fittings at each point, service ports near the compressor and add a high/low pressure switch at the dryer.
If you change refrigerants, I recommend flushing out the system and replacing the valve. You don't have to use expensive flush stuff, brake cleaner followed by a good stream of air from a compressor will clean it out without leaving residue. Do it before you add the new dryer. Then when you vacuum the system down you will remove the moisture left by the compressed air.
