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 !!! |

I finally decided to get moving and installed the compressor. Its harder to install the unit with the engine in the car but at least I know it will fit. I used the vacant fuel pump mounting location to attach my lower mount. Fits good and just need to install an upper support. I'm going to use a belt tensioner / idler pulley, That will keep things tight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
