I could use some help with a DPD aftermarket A/C system I bought years ago, but never got around to installing because of my wife's health problems. I live in Texas, so A/C is a necessity during the 8 months of summer here.

I'm looking for pictures of the compressor mounted to the engine and pictures of the mounting bracket. I think I might be missing part of the bracket itself.

I realize how slim the chances of finding any info is since these systems were kind of rare, but any help or leads to information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the DPD system or which it may be..

It gives a descent over view though. I believe I still have original aftermarket bracketry that I'm not gonna be using, if you need something (in Texas too).

That is the first decent side mount system I've seen.

It's using a drop-dead dependable Sanden compressor, and it's driven by a serpentine belt.

I'd use that in a heartbeat and I'm a picky anal bitch!

For those who don't know I run an Automotive AC specialist shop in Granbury Texas.

That is what I would have built had I decided to stay T4.

That looks NICE!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

There was another version that used a top mount where the later air pump mount was. No sheet metal cutting in engine compartment. No pictures though
