Yes Tyler a Sanden is a much better compressor than an old York type.
 The Sanden is not only a more efficent pump it takes less HP to turn.
Most all the aftermarket sellers use a 508 Sanden type A/C compressor.

If you have the factory setup, you will need a conversion bracket to hook up a sanden.   In addition, if you have the early factory cast iron alternator and cast iron belt tension pulley bracket (what is refered to as a dog leg) you will have to fabricate a side bracket that bolts to the sanden for that as well.   That said, there are many options, such as using the alternator and a/c tension brackets from a 67 up (stamped metal)  or just a complete aftermarket a/c bracket.   

The york style compressor is still made and is used mainly on big rigs in 134A.  However, they do not have the side holes for the dog leg, either.  

I was going to use a york on my Mustang, but everyone talked me out of it.  I now have a sanden on it. I have the conversion bracket, but I have not fabricated anything yet for the dog leg set up.  

On my Galaxie, I have a sanden with a complete aftermarket bracket set up that I got from Nostalgic air.  which I like much better.   It comes in about what seems like 50 pieces, with the different spacers that fit on the water pump, but I welded mine all together.  I have thought about getting another one for the Mustang, but I put so much work into making all that stuff fit together.
