As stated I am starting to look at what I need to do to build an A/C system for my 914.
Since my power steering seems to be working great I can move on to the next thing on the list.. I am using a "V" belt system and really don't want to change it over, besides the cost may be more than I want to spend. If someone knows a cheaper way to add a serpentine system let me know.. (I have a first generation SBC). My thought was to decide on a compressor and use the condenser, evaporator, dryer which go's with system.. I've looked into an electric compressor but I have enough amperage blasting through my car already and I don't know what voltage thy run on.. I may switch over to a electric water pump to free up space but I 'm not sure. suggestions welcome !!! |

The top picture appears to have the grooves cut in the harmonic balancer to get the belts closer to the motor. I do like the belts pulling on opposites sides of the crank. That should make equal loads on the front mainbearing.
my experience with vbelts is that when they are long between the pulleys they vibrate more and make a vibration that can be felt in the car. Also it may be the best it can be but there is not much wrap on the alt. puley. |
