Bring on the summer heat!
Cause I'll be ready and cruisin' cool!
I had a good day at the j-yard today and got a majority of an a/c setup for my car. I got the evap and box, condensor, an assortment of idler pulleys and brackets from different cars, the harness and relays. Just need a few hoses, receiver/drier, and compressor and a few other odds n ends. I won't have any clearance issues with the manifold, turbo or downpipe luckily. I will, however need to run new cold side piping to the intercooler and move my rad fan to the rear of the radiator to make room for the condenser, easy fix. I can't wait to get it installed.
I think the condenser fan is going to sound like a little turbo spooling when its on cause it makes a noise when its spun by hand. Great.
Who else here has installed ac on a non-ac car and is it factory or non factory air. I know from what I have seen that they have a different harness, condenser and compressor. Factory air (correct me if I'm wrong, for I am just now getting into stiva ac and know little about its variations) has 3 relays on the frame rail behind the radiator and one pressure switch by the passenger strut tower. Non-fact. air has 2 relays by the passenger fender and the pressure switch on the receiver/drier. Everything inside the car looks to be the same.
I also picked up a 323 and 929 throttle cable. the 929 has a nice bend on it where it comes through the firewall so it should work out nice with the bp tb orientation. I snagged the 929's cold start injector while I was in there too.
I got an aspire mc and prop valve and a prop valve from a 323 to be used with an egt mc. Aspire master cylinders say 13/16" on them and egt ones say 7/8" so I guess I'll go ahead with the egt one. The egt one also has a nipple off the side of the reservoir for the clutch master so I can get rid of my separate clutch reservoir I have now.

It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.
