Hello, my 73 NYer has sat somewhere in the vicinity of 8 years or more. A lot of issues were had before it was parked resulting in the heater core being removed and placed in the trunk. The a/c line was looped on itself. The compressor is unplugged. The alternator was removed and the spacers are MIA. The fuel filter behind the alternator at the pump is missing but I'll need to run it off an auxiliary source, obviously. So my main question is will I be ok to run the belts off the a/c or should I eliminate it? Also, I did a little bit of looking around and I saw a internally rectified alternator with mount and spacers on 440source. Would this be a good option to go with while I'm already in need of spacers? While right now my concern is just to get her up and running eventually I'll need to get the a/c situation fixed for the better half and I plan to go the Sanden compressor route that many have done on the forum but wouldn't mind getting the charging system up to snuff while I'm at it as my voltage regulator and electronic module have both made a nasty leaky mess on the firewall. Thanks for any help and guidance.
