Ferd/289 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I was thinking of adding A/C to my '77Z-1966 SBF. Car has no A/C components as yet, and interior is totally stripped. Does it make sense to 'salvage yard out' a full A/C system from lets say a late model mustang? I guess I would need a condensor, evaporator, lines, expansion valve, dryer, etc. Any ideas on brackets for SBF block. Vents?? I would to install 134R type. Maybe there are kits for custom cars, any recommendations. Ferd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 If you have a 260Z or a 280Z, I'd suggest that you look at pulling the A/C out of a 280Z. Or, and I think this is the better deal, buy the smallest unit Vintage Air has to offer and make a custom installation. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Is the 280 unit R134a compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Is the 280 unit R134a compatible? Shops now claim that every sys is R134a compatible, they usually evac the sys and flush, then replace the oil and charge, My 1990 volvo had this done 10 years ago, still cold (barely). remember you might spend hundreds on getting even a "free" system working and then have it crap out a year later, so beware it will take some dough, no doubt.
