Why do I bother????  Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123  |
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 |

If you want to do this on the cheap get an new Sanden compressor off ebay for $100-150. Get a York to Sanden adaptor or make one if you have a welder. You'll also need an original A/C kit including the fan pulley. You'll also probably want to use a modern condensor and a new drier. Buy fittings and bulk barrier A/C hose and make your own or lay it all out and have an A/C specialty shop crimp the hoses for you.
Figure on $700 to $1500 depending on how cheap you can find a working A/C kit and how cheap you get the rest of the stuff. |
