Ok, the new car has air. It looks like all that is missing is the compressor. I think these had VPD and DPD A/C units. How do I figure out what compressor I need? Can I convert this to 134a?
Basically every question you would expect! Thanks, Matt |

So here is another question. How much horsepower does it rob when the A/C is not turned on?
Obviously Virginia doesn't get as hot as Mississippi. Rolling the windows down and taking the top off is better than roasting....until you hit a long stop light.... I'm old and I like my A/C. I think it would make me like my teener alot more. My engine is built to about 2.1 or 2.2 liters, so I think it would still manage to pull itself down the road with the air on. Did anyone here mention autocrossing or high speed chases with the air running? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
