AC setup for a SBC

Recommended Posts

Well, I have made some progress on my 383 stroker setup and am now at the point of determining what I can and can't do in the area of AC setup. I have all the AC components from an 83 280zx is there anything that I can use and or would need to modify to make work.. I am also toying with the idea of setup up a serpentine belt system for the engine, however, my delema is which side I should place the compressor, which I assume will need to be changed out..... ANy help would be greatly appriciated..

Don't know if this will help....but when I bought my 260Z (w/ SBC), it was equipped with AC. High-mount alternator on driver side and high-mount AC compressor on passenger side. It actually all fit in pretty well, but I removed (and kept for possible later re-installation) everything to lighten it and open up the engine compartment. It was the right choice for me considering intended track use; but there are DEFINITELY times in the summer when I wouldn't mind a little cool air blowing!!! :rolleyes:

 

Seems to me that the biggest weak link for AC in S30s is the blower and cabin ventilation. That may not be true with an S130.

 

Good luck with it and happy motoring.
