Aircon Back Into A 32 Gtst

[sama1500]

so i've had my car for about a year now, bought it without aircon and was happy with it but i think i'll be keeping it for a while to come and want to put the air con back in, i want to know whats involved in doing this, parts i need etc. the car currently has the climate control thing and everything on it works, except for the fact there is no actual aircon system in there

Do you know wether or not you have the evaporater ? If so you just need the engine bay pipes and compressor.

i have no idea, where is it meant to be located? i can look to see if i have it or not

[dopey]

It is up behind the dash but you should have two pipes with thread on them on the firewall beside the exhaust manifold if you still have it.

[sama1500]

yeah pipes are there, so all i need is engine bay pipes and a compressor? is there anything else i need? because that doesnt sound like much thats all

[dopey]

Forgot to mention the condenser, fan and something else i cant remember the name of but if you get onto a jap wreckers and just ask for all the engine bay components for the ac, you should get everything you need.

condensor, dryer (should get this part brand new), compressor, and pipes, should be a pipe from firewall (evaporator box) to the compressor, from the compressor to the condensor, from the condensor to the dryer, and from the dryer to firewall(evaporator)
replace all the o rings with brand new hnbr seals, put the dryer in last and just before it gets regassed, drain all the oil oil from the compressor and put new oil in it.

also if you dont have it on the engine already you will need the bracket the ac compressor bolts onto, and the idler pully

and of course a fan belt

the fan at behind the front bar they shouldnt of taken off as it actually for the engine overheating, yet can be hooked up to come on with ac, and it makes the ac work ALOT better
