FS: 914 air conditioning system, Complete set of AC parts for a 914. $100 + shipping Options

[44ron]

Hey ya'll,

I took the non-working AC system out of the 914 I purchased several years ago. It's been doing a great job of filtering dust out of the air in my shop; it's time to see if anybody can actually use this stuff. It was installed on a 71 914 and was not charged but hooked up when I got it. I'm not sure what parts of the system are good or not. When I removed it I just cut the rubber lines but kept the fittings, condenser, compressor, bracket, vent cluster. Feel free to reach out for any questions. I am happy to ship parts.

Pricing:
$100 per trip to post office + shipping cost
ie if you want everything, it's 100 dollars plus shipping. Or if you just want the AC compressor, 100 dollars + shipping. I'm just trying to get compensated for time spent organizing the sale. Payment via paypal.

If you're local to central CA, just come and pick it up.

The York compressor has one GOOD application.
As it is a pure sump style compressor you can install that on a service vehicle and plumb it to a large tank to have on-board pressurized air.

It's the only compressor that really works well for pumping air...

I disagree about mounting a parallel flow condenser in the stock "in the trunk location" and converting to 134. IMO the stock location will only work properly with R12 as it does not have enough condenser air flow.

Now, mounting a parallel flow condenser in the stock location will help a R12 system work better...

I will not use the stock location for my systems. Condensers have to be exposed to frontal air flow IMO. It doesn't take a huge hole, but a 1 square foot opening will give 5280 CFM at 60 mph which is plenty.

I'm also going to stay R12 on my systems because it's legal, it works better, has significantly lower high side pressures, and it is NOT nearly as bad for the atmosphere as it's been vilified as...
What was bad was the other uses of R12 that it was used for.
Industry was responsible for 98% of the vented refrigerant.

R12 is a WONDERFUL solvent and was used accordingly...
It was used for "blowing" Styrofoam.
It was used as a propellant for hair spray and deodorant.
Dry cleaners used it extensively for oil stains on clothing.
The list goes on...
