If you go on ebay and search york adapters you will find all kinds of stuff usually.
You can get Sanyos in chrome, polished, serp, or V belt!
You name it you can get a Sanyo compressor in it!
Best to do a little research to make sure you pick compatible components and sizing, but that should be a pretty straightforward. I think doing a google search will also turn up a crap load of places to choose from!

I would absolutely NOT use a York on anything but a concourse restoration!
They are indeed power sucking, vibrating marvels of 50-60's engineering!

I think ACsource may be one place to search for, but not postive, it's been a while since I noodled doing A/C in one of my cars. Still haven't done it yet!
   I roll down the windows!
