'74 164 A/c Condenser 140-160

Does anyone know where to find an A.C condenser for a 1974 164? I just had the radiator recored and figured while it's out I'd replace the condenser, it looks a little scary.
I'm having a hard time finding a clear listing. I'll be swapping out the hoses and putting in an updated late 240 compressor later, but wanted to replace the condenser now. I don't mind doing some creative plumbing. Do you think something out of a 240 would work? Just need to know what year to shoot for.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Matt

To get maximum cooling (converting to R134) measure the mounting area and buy
the biggest R134 condenser you can fit in there - Old Auto Air and other after-
market Air sources carry them in about 1-2" increments - also - go to the rotary
compressor - draws less horsepower - has less vibration (fewer broken brackets)
IF you want to discuss the options - email me at volvo165@msn.com - I can send
you pictures of the conversion on my 165 - I can also provide a stock condenser
for $20 if you are hard over on originality - Matt Tucson AZ

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the help. I'll send you an email as I'd like to discuss what you did on your 165.
Thanks, Matt
