6.0 in 66 with the a.c.?

I'm getting ready to swap my motor in but I would like to keep the a.c on it.
What is needed to make it functional in the truck? I have the complete donor vehicle. But I have nothing else.

That's something I have not considered. The room is comparable to trucks up until the late 80's

With slider mounts you can slide the motor forward enough to have room for the compressor. Mine are an '84 and an '86. I don't know how that translates to a '66.
