I replaced mine with a unit from the local AC Delco A/C shop, cost me $94.50. Had a little bit smaller pulley, but that will help w/cooling at idle.Fits 77 Olds 455 engine..

Oklahoma Air in OKC..
Another A/C shop (not an AC Delco dealer) wanted around $225..

FWIW
I replaced mine with an aftermarket number 500-315.
$94.50 w/$3 core.. Has slightly smaller pulley but that will help w/low engine speed cooling. Same as A6 and works OK, am using R134 also..Put in all new O-Rings too.
Make sure you put on a dryer also(Auto Air of Oklahoma said they had to have that for warranty..)
