64-66 Factory Air Restoration

[HOTFUN]

I am a bit challenged at this subject but want to learn the best way to pull this upgrade off and keep the original functionality in place. I am now tearing apart a complete 1966 factory air system and have several parts AC trucks with them to compare. I want to restore the original system but plan to update the compressor to the new style 10 cylinder replacement for the original A6 using original brackets. Then I want to upgrade the old style worm gear clamp hose situation by having new O ring style nut fittings installed on the ends of the existing evaporator core, air compressor manifold muffler line, and forward connections. After researching this, I am told a new slightly larger ac condensor is what I need to make the use of R134 very effective. Questions I have now has anyone seen and used the retro fit kits that LMC or Classic Trucks have listed that is the condensor, dryer, lines in one kit and a new evaporator core with the new style valve? The descriptions are very lame on their sites but it appears they have an aluminum tube line set up and may use the nut style O ring fittings with these items? I have found that new fittings of all types are available right from the auto parts stores and new Parker AC hose so they can be professionally aluminum welded on the ends of existing barbed ends and after making the correct length of hose they hose can be professional crimped for a great easily serviceable system.
Maybe someone can expand on this or refer me to an existing thread that talks about this? Otherwise I think this could be a great FAQ topic and I maybe able to document lengths, fittings and parts used. Maybe someone should put together a complete upgrade package with detailed instructions? Thanks
