So, I miss my AC. I know that Fall is creeping around the corner, but I'd like to go ahead and get it installed in the near future. The question here is, though - What do I use? I've uninstalled AC before, however, I have not reinstalled it in a 2G 6 bolt swapped vehicle. So, I have the following questions.
1 : I know that differences are few, however there are differences in the 6bolt engine vs the 7bolt. Do they differences call for me to use a compressor/mounting bracket from a 6 bolt or 7bolt or does it matter at all? Sadly I do not have two compressors from each engine to verify on my own.
2 : Which lines do I use? Not having the compressors to compare, are the lines different at all other than routing? Can I use 1G lines in a 2G body? Will any of the ends which bolt to the compressor/condensor/etc need to be custom fitted?
3 : Do I retain the same placement for the cooler and such as a 2G? I suppose the lines will dictate this.
I'm not worried about weight, horse power loss, or anything like that, so please stay on topic with this if at all possible. I have the compressor/mount/lines from a 1G and the cooler/canister/dash assembly for a 2G. What can be used and what can't?
