re: AC swap in my 1972 Gremlin. with a V8 ...Sanden compressor...80's to 91 Grand Cherokee

As far as I know all full size Jeeps use V-belts.
The different compressor numbers will either desgnate v-belt or serpantine.
They may also designate dissplacement. Which one is best? I would ask.
Larger is not always better with compressors for A/C.
P/S Pump will match the old box, just change out the high pressure fitting and valve and spring from your old P/S pump.
If you have all the 73 stuff get the adapter Frank mentioned and don't worry about changing it over. I posted the answers just in case someone else was interested and because you asked!
