AC total install advice

[neanderpaul]

So back to it. I now have the wiring harness and the drain tube going through the stock location through a stock grommet through the stock hole in the firewall.

Inside the car.

The 2 plugs in question and their mates.

And up close of the harness and the drain tube coming the the grommet in the firewall.

And after 20 minutes of actual work time my dear selfless mother calls me in for this

reused these...

To make these

[neanderpaul]

I had some extra length in the wiring here. I made a loop. It has to be where it is because of the pressure switch.
This is my 93 auto with ac. Note the bracket holding the "soft" ac line.

I didn't have the bracket that this holder mounted to. So I put it here.


I'm almost done under the hood. The But this plug is a big question.

This same plug is on my 88 LX with air here. The plug goes into the wiring harness.

If I remember correctly that plug is for the condenser fan. That fan is only required with an automatic transmisision equipped car.

That's what Joseph said today in a text. Thanks Ian!

Same place I ended up mounting the soft line on the one I did Paul. I'll pull those diagrams for you. Ian, on my '88LX (former 5-speed) that plug actually goes into the harness and runs the regular cooling fan when the AC is on.

good day!
just want to ask also sir about my AC installation..is it ok if i only use a universal relay?i just use 1 relay for the wiring..ex..30amps bosch realy..i just DIY my installation coz it's to expensive to go to a technician.. i didnt use the stock parts coz it's expensive to...condenser fan,compressor,thermostat switch, diy switch for the compressor to engage, solenoid and a light indicator, these are the things that goes thru the relay...the result is ok but im not expert, maybe there will be a time that it will malfunction coz it's not the proper way..any comment on this experts?

thanks in advance for the replies!
