Would I be correct to say that the factory V AC compressor will not fit a motor equipped with the Offy 2 single carb manifold? Might a rotary compressor as found on late F Bodies and M Bodies work instead?

I would say most likely not. Here are some pics that might help you.

Thanks for the pictures! I'd say even with the rotary compressor, AC not possible with the twin singles. Thanks again!

Looks too tight with the factory brackets and compressor location. Maybe you could fabricate brackets that place the compressor lower, further to the driver's side?

Might be able to cobble up some brackets and fit a rotary compressor where the power steering pump would go if the car had PS

Be advised there are at least two different bracketry setups for the V-type compressor on the slant-6. The early-type brackets (I want to say up to '66, maybe a couple years later) mount the compressor closer to the engine block; the later brackets move it several inches farther over towards the driver's side. When I used late-type brackets in my '65, it put the left outboard compressor head bolt into the battery case. I could've solved this with a smaller/different battery, but never got around to it.

It also does seem to me that one or another type of round-body compressor could be mounted on a "block hugger" type bracket down under the manifolds, where the DC generator was mounted on '60-'62 cars so equipped.

newer, smaller compressors from modern cars? old style AC won't fit in mostnarrowa's engine bay (up to'67 I think)

The old-style (V2) compressor was used in A-bodies with dealer or factory A/C starting in '62, actually...!

won't fit with DUAL 1 barrel setup on up to 67 (i think) engine bays
