Where do I find a modern Air Conditioning system, to install on a 57 Series 62 which never had A/C before? Please reply, thanks

I was looking at "Auto AC Solutions" when I was contemplating putting air in my 57 62. They show you the instructions so you can see what you're getting into.

I've done a couple of Vintage Air and Old Air Products upgrades. They are built to be user friendly, and install fairly easy, although it may seem overwhelming at first.

I have put a Vintage Air system (https://vintageair.com/) in a 1950 Jaguar sedan and a 1950 Packard.  Classic Auto Air 13 years ago in my '35 Cadillac resto-mod which is still going strong (https://www.classicautoair.com).
Old Air Products also has an excellent reputation and I have bought some of their parts but not a whole system

If you're going to install an aftermarket A/C system you'll have to relocate the front speaker, as it'll be in the way.

Haven't looked, but an under dash AC unit might present that problem.  A behind the dash should not be a problem, although you may have to remove the speaker while doing the installation.
