The Ford Barn

My '61' Galaxie 2dr came with Ford factory/dealer installed under dash air conditioning. At least this is the information I have compiled. I like the looks of the under dash unit, chrome and very period. What I don,t like is the boat anchor compressor and over built mounting bracket. It hides the power steering pump and fuel pump and makes stated items impossible to access. Has anybody changed out this boat anchor for a smaller compressor? I can fab a bracket to fit a different compressor. Or If somebody has tried something else with success I would like to hear about it. Car has a 292 Y block. Thanks for your time.
