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.

I posted a bit of misinformation....

R134 actually has a higher efficacy rating than R12.

It actually can move more heat than 12.

It takes more power to do so as the high side pressures are 30%+ higher.

So, it's actually better but takes more fuel to get there...

It drags the engine down further when it cycles on and off.

It requires substantially more airflow over substantially better condensers to work properly.

I can make R134 blow just as cold as R12 but if you do those same mods for R12 you make the system require even less power to drive.

If they changed back today, AC systems would last forever, seldom leak, and improve fuel economy across the board.

R134 was titled "environmental friendly" until the patents ran out and it's now being vilified as a "greenhouse gas".

It's "BAD" now and the critters that have always had the patents have the patents on the new crap R1234YF.

If R134 is as bad as they are now saying it is why is it still available to the general public at the grocery store?

I expect R1234YF will be EVIL in 2035ish...

All reasons why i dont feel at all bad about running Redtek in my Vanagon and pre-90s Porsches. That and the stuff just works better in every way.
