Correct. Today, of course, it is much easier to add A/C to a 140 as several
people have made special high mounts for modern Sanden compressors.
Here is a link to the photos of my son's 1965 Monza 140 in which I installed
A/C

It is essentially a 1966 style installation, except it uses a Sanden
compressor and new 1966-style condenser - both supplied by Rusty Rose (
http://www.rustysonline.com/) and uses R134a
