I still suggest talking with people in a CA Mopar club near you for their input / suggestions. (see 8-6 below)
A competent Mopar mechanic can rebuild these. But FWIW a search engine test I did brought up these links of places to check with and see what they say.

I previously sent some ideas on 8-6:
------------------------------------------------
Yes, good thought. A Factory Service Manual from years when these AC
units were available has detailed instructions on rebuilding.
Also there is a Hemmings historical overview.
https://www.hemmings.com/stories/chrysler-rv-2-a-c-compressors/
I recall seeing a posting where a guy with a A-body described how he
rebuilt his car's RV2 AC compressor, with photos.
Let me see....
Yes, scroll down to his Dec 23, 2018 posting
https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/1972-duster-build-with-my-daughter.407989/page-22
Unfortunately the 2 links he has listed for gaskets and seals from
Classic Industries now lead to a "parts discontinued" notice. But
those numbers may be superseded.
A good mechanic should be able to rebuild the one you have. Sometimes you can contact a Mopar club in your area and ask them for suggested shops. There is a "Mopar Clubs" list on the 62-65 site, but some of the links are dated.

Hope this helps.
