I have used several of them in builds I have done in the past. No problems with any of them, good quality.

any pics and which unit did you use. I don't see a direct fit for a 60-66

I put one in my 61 project heat/air unit.

They had a special on them at the Autofair in Charlotte.

Haven't charged it yet, the heat seems to work ok when I tested it.

I had to get a few extra fittings to route the hoses the way I wanted them.

I had to get a different compressor for the bracket set I had bought for the engine, Incorrectly I assumed all aftermarket bracket kits used a 508 compressor.

On a previous build (56 Chevy Tk) I had used a setup from Nostalgia air out of FL, It worked ok also, but didn't own it long enough for a long term opinion.
Good Luck,
Bud
