Ac Refurbishing

Here's the nearly-finished installation. Mike wasn't done detailing the car and found out he needed a new heater core, so the final positioning of the heater hoses, etc. hasn't been done at this point. However, you can see here that the rubber lines for the compressor are going to run in a clean, orderly route, giving a factory-like appearance. Also note that both original-length fan belts are retained to drive the compressor clutch. One difference, however, is that both hoses come off the back of the Sanden compressor and run to the passenger side of the car, rather than one to that side, and the other to the driver's side as originally equipped with the old RV-2 compressor. This configuration eliminates the hard line running behind the battery and crossing over the top of the radiator core support. This more direct routing, coupled with the Sanden's smaller body and aluminum finish, gives the engine compartment a less cluttered, much cleaner appearance. View Related Article
