Encourage you to buy a contemporary condenser - the largest you can fit in the space. The new ones are more efficient than older style condensers. The more heat you reject, the less work the rest of the system will have to do. Classic auto air and Vintage Air sell them. I believe I selected a 15" x 21" unit for my Classic Auto Air "kit". Top connection to compessor (hi press/hot), low connection to exp valve/evaporator (low press/cold). My compressor connection is a #6, exp valve connection a #8....if you have to have hoses made anyway. Suction side is the largest - a #10. Lastly, mount the condenser flush against rad - I used some thin foam to seal/cushion. This will assure that all air pulled (or pushed) across the rad also comes across the condenser.
