My newest project for this car is getting the a/c going again. I'm driving this thing to Tulsa this June for the Mid America Ford and Shelby meet, and I want my a/c working.
I cleaned up and repainted and mounted the stock a/c compressor bracket, which is the only a/c component I removed from the car. I also had to move the coil. I can't put it in the stock location with this intake, so I moved it down under the a/c bracket.
The compressor went right on, just like before, except the braces that originally came off the back of it and bolted the intake won't fit with this intake. It should be fine though, this bracket is stout as hell as it is.
Since these pics, I have also cleaned up the a/c hoses and fittings.
I plugged the wire in to the a/c coil, and my when I turn on the a/c blower motor (which still works
), the clutch still engages! My main problem now is to see if I can find a clutch with a 6 rib serpentine pulley, and to see if it will line up with my existing pulleys.
If it comes down to it, I might have to ditch the water pump and all the brackets I have on it now and switch to a complete fox body front dress (parts I already have), but I really don't want to do that.
