That unit from the 60's should probably go to the dump. I had a Florida
water source Heat pump from the early 80's and even though they were
efficient for their time they are a joke by today's standards.

My dad is giving me an old water-cooled Carrier central air conditioner
that used to be used in his home but was impractical due to the need for
circulating water to the system. I can use it in my home because I have a
pond I can use to get water from. The problem is that when the folks took
away his last oil furnace to the dump, they mistakenly took the two front
metal panels from the air conditioner as well since it was the same color
and the panels were leaning against a wall. Anyway, the lower panel just
covers the compressor and bottom of the unit, but the top one needs to be
in place for proper air flow. Would those in the know think I could find
such a part from a unit from the 60's, or should I try to fabricate one
with metal and maybe plywood?

I would agree wih a heat pump but was told this unit is still
acceptable, and it is free. I also don't need AC much here except for
maybe two months.
