Some considerations.
Trying to find a phase 1 Ac system for a 107 may be difficult. Finding one that is the phase 3 system (automatic) will be easy. I know of a couple here in the DFW area at junk dealers.
The problem with the auto system is the vacuum elements inside the evaporator box. You will need that box from a donar car. While it is out I would replace all the elements and reinforce the inside element base to prevent the box from breaking. Now the majority of your potention problems that the older 560SLs are facing are solved. Wood trim is available, new or old. Parts etc. So I would consider a 560SL donor. The system is morecomplicated but you will have to learn A system. So you might as well learn the phase 3 system of the automatic AC system.
Don't get the phase 2 AC system. Parts availability problems.
