Anyone have a link to a trustworthy A/C condensor nowadays for a late 80s square? I had got one that was "perfect fit" for my rig, but clearly wasn't. even with moving the mounts the lines hit into the rad support regardless; they're supposed to stick out and do not. Not sure the exact number but it is a Spectre condenser, and so far it's ****. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you figure anything out? I ordered one of these too and it's way smaller to fit normally in core support.

UAC one looks similar. Other UAC condensers that I have tried holding so far. 636420 unit mentioned a while back has been discontinued.

You have move all the condenser bushings inward, there extra slots to slot in, top driver side had to drill a hole abolt the original bushing, I also cut some of the rubber bushing in the middle

no i never figured anything out. in fact, i'd decided to remove every last component of the AC system in that truck and swapped it to a heater only setup. Kinda how i like my Squares nowadays
