Having looked into the electric 12 volt ac compressor set up, I can tell you that you need at least a 100 amp alternator.
Maybe I am a bit of an odd ball here, but I like the idea of ac on a day two "look" car. No it isn't really day 2. It would be much more enjoyable to drive in the heat.
Back to the alternator; I am not aware of any place you can send it to have it rebuilt to put out 100+ amps. My guess is you will be stuck using a more modern alternator. It will be one more concession to NOT looking period correct. But then, you are already going to have that condenser up in front of the radiator.
BTW, you CANNOT tuck that condenser in too tightly to the radiator or neither one will work efficiently. I get you are trying to hide it a bit, but overheating with crappy ac won't be much fun.
If you decide to go ahead with it, please start a tutorial thread from start to finish; good bad and ugly.
