At 300 psi what kind of hoses would I need? Will rubber hoses handle 300 psi? I guess whatever hoses come through the firewall would be the same for the condenser???? Even so, for the life of me I cannot think of where to mount a condenser other than to cut a hole in the piece that is below the radiator on the '29, but then with a dropped axle there is not room there either. Suggestions (other than to forget the AC)?? What model AC condenser should I look for? Maybe since I have the Brookville flat-type A-frame with a U-shape frame around the back of the rear pumpkin, I could hang the condenser from the underside of the frame in the rear, but that means very long hoses. Still maybe that is the ONLY way to mount a condenser on a very crowded A-frame?

somebody that has done this need to tell you where don ,but you'll have to have room for a fan also. you have to have air going across the cond. all the time the ac is on. you will need ac hose that's made for the pressure and that's another problem, because it takes up a lot of room and its stiff and hard to plum. but really this is not a job for a beginner. the best thing to do is find a place there in rich. that has did a few of these and talk to them. I used to deal with AUTO AIR OF VA when I was there, might give Mitch Armatrout a call and tell him mike hammack told you to call him. good guy to deal with, but not the cheapest.
