AC compressor for R12... using R12

So I have access to a very large supply of R12 (240 lbs of it), and I would like to know where I can get a really good quality compressor for my serp belt system. One that will hopefully live 5-10 years with R12. New system o-rings, new drier, etc.

Anyone?

240 LBS! Who cares whether it leaks, lol, just vacuum it down and fill it each year, lol.

I bought a NOS one from someone a few years ago, and the one in my car with the V6 still worked, so I just put it back in with the LS swap. I would go with an AC Delco reman if that is what I was looking for at the moment.

Care to sell any of that? I could use another 30lbs

Sadly it's not mine. I just have access to it because a friend/customer of my shop has it and we trade work back and forth. So he doesn't mind if I charge my cars, etc.

I'll check out the AC Delco offerings. Thanks.
