Just curious, what's this system worth? Compressor and bracket included, but not shown. Not sure if compressor works.

@ClayPerrine
Do you have the original York compressor or have you updated. When I was investigating more seriously a few months ago I was looking at Sanden as a more viable compressor. More efficient, lower parasitic, less weight. Don't get me wrong, I really want A/C. Just haven't found the right way that suits my needs yet. I just really hate the extremely crude nature of the the dealer conversions. |

It's sold by ICEAC in California. It replaces the York boat anchor with a R-134a compatible compressor.  We have been running this on Betty's car for years. It works great, and doesn't suck Horsepower like the York. We use the stock DPD evaporator and condenser. I replaced the fan on the condenser with at 10" fan from FLAPS. I also added a 911 SC condenser to the underside of the engine lid with two fans on it. We get really cold AC out of the vents. |

The hole in the tin, and the shelf mod requirements don't change. It is just a better compressor. |
