A: You can swap the clutch for one from the same kind of unit and serpentine 
belt too.

You've got the right idea Jim! On my first Classic wagon I kept the Jeep 
4.0L AC compressor and attached it to a universal type under dash unit 
inside the car. Required custom hoses though. Southern Air and Vintage Air 
both have the universal evaporator units. Just get the compressor bracket 
from any AMC six (pre 74 -- bracket locations changed in 74!). You can buy 
an adapter for a Sanden compressor (originals were the big York piston 
compressors -- look like 3.5 hp BS lawn mower engines, only aluminum!). Just 

make sure you get a compressor with a V belt pulley.
