If you are replacing the compressor and don't have it, there is a difference in coil position (9:00 or 12:00) and that also effects the compressor clutch and pulley. I hope this helps.
Do you know if all rad supports will support the condenser that exits out the passenger side? I assume pre 80 rad supports dont support this but Im not sure. I do already have the big compressor for the big block. Its new and I assume the hoses for the pancake style compressors would not work.

I see what you're saying with the dryer. Im just concerned I wont be able to make a later drier work if I have to use the hoses from an earlier style because of the condenser.. ugh.
