Sourcing manuals for retired aircraft
I have a project under way to create a budget airline in New Zealand and wonder if anybody knows where I can source ops and maintenance manuals etc for former Southwest 737-200s ?
I need these to acquire an AOC from the local authorities. Any advice or mentoring etc is also gratefully accepted.

Putting it another way, how difficult would it be to adapt an ops manual from a 737-200 with different engines and other specs ?
Southwest -200s had the JT8D-9 engines. I suppose it is a given then that one would need to adapt a manual written at least for a similar powered 737-200 ?
Apart from variations in company practices by preference (ie habits) what other barriers are there to adapting a pre existing manual from a different 737-200 operator ?

The AFM and maintenance manuals are serial and line number unique. If you are a legitimate owner or operator of the aircraft, Boeing can provide you with the manuals for your serial number(s).
