Hi, will everything from a 73 Chevelle fit my 71 Elky? Like the brakes, a/c, etc, etc?

Most of the Power Plant and Drive train will work no problem. None of the body parts except the dash and possibly the seats, Tires will fit also. That almost covers it. I don't know if the brakes will work, I suppose if the Chevelle has the same size drums and disks then they should. Accessories like Water Pump and AC etc... are part of the power plant and will work if they are already there. You may need to re-make you AC hoses but if they are as old as ether of the two then they need to be rebuilt anyway.

I'd get away from using that POA type of AC system they Sukk in my books. I converted mine so I don't have all that garbage just basic AC, it's cold and that is what counts! Here in Texas anyway!

Good Luck

Speaking of later chevelles, I saw my first 74' Chevelle at a show last week, I wanted to cry. Why would gm use "Chevelle" on a four door?

Ain't nuthin wrong with "more" door cars! They make the absolute best sleepers! And they usually had the better suspensions too.
