Fasbird- I have a 71 RR. Do you have the A/C heater box? If so, check out Bouchillon performance http://bouchillonperformance.com/I'm leaning towards them for everything forward of the cowl on mine.

I had factory A/C and converted it to R134 through Classic Auto Air on my 72 Charger.

Yes, if you can find out which system he installed. Mine is a big block car. Pics would be cool too, if you have the availability to get. Thanks!

When I do it I'm going with Classic Auto Air
Didn't even remember these guys.
http://www.classicautoair.com/70_73_Mopar%20E-Body_Air_Conditioning_Mopar_AC.html
Looks like they have adapted the E-Body kit to the 71-74 B-body now. This is worth looking into. However, I will be looking for the "low mount" style brackets for the compressor. With the air grabber, I need to keep all the hosing and components down low. prolly need to have all the hoses custom made.

When I did the air in the Torana, I needed all custom hoses obviously...I ended up buying the crimping tool and all the hose and fittings I needed and made them all up myself. 
Lets you run them exactly how you want and with crimping them yourself..you can sort of design and route them as you go. 
(more than a year later and it still blows cold so the crimps worked perfectly in my case.  )

Gary, thats good to hear.
I used Vintage Air for the box. It's all electronic controls. That way there are no vacuum lines and/or control cables to worry about.
Firewall forward is all Bouchillon and it was mostly a bolt in deal.
The kit I used was made for an air car. BUT, I simply made my own bracket to mount the box to it instead of to the car.
That way I was able to use all the stock Non A/C car box mounting points , just in case the owner decides to someday put the car back to a stock AAR( Although I seriously doubt that'll happen)
