[Healeys] electric AC compressor

[tfsbj7 at gmail.com]

I installed the Vintage Air traditional belted system.  I note that an electric AC compressor (available from Amazon and other vendors) suitable for automotive use demands a current load over 100 amps….. You might need to convert from the original car generator to a modern (large) alternator in order to drive the electric compressor.   The pieces available from Amazon (and others) do not include the condensing coil, air dryer, nor the in-dash equipment…. So there are a lot of parts (and installation-fiddly bits) remaining for anyone wishing to undertake this approach.

Has anyone had experience installing an electric AC compressor on an old classic?
