LS guys: what are you doing for A/C?

i'm looking at what my options are regarding compressor mounts. i'd initially thought about fabbing up my own, as i've got both a 1988 compressor and the compressor off the 2004. i just thought i'd check around at what y'all are using.

i used the plates that use the old motor mounts. it's on an 88 suburban (2004 5.3) with rear air. everything else on a/c setup is stock.

Re: LS guys: what are you doing for A/C?

I am using the Vintage Air kit, which uses a Sanden compressor. It is on my TBI engine right now, but will be mounted using the Kwik Performance brackets (purchased through VA). Dirty Dingo also has some nice looking A/C brackets as well, if you might be looking into the Sanden compressor.

How does the lines exit on the van compressor?

I used the r-4 like on the malibu racing link above. The bad thing about going that route is belt selection isn't very good when you get that long of a belt.

Re: LS guys: what are you doing for A/C?

Similar to the regular truck but the compressor is not varible displacement pump I notched my deal a little for the suction lone and used the factory a/c hoses from the express just added my fittings I also flipped my condenser upside down sunset they exited the drivers side now they exit the passenger side bottom only had to notch to core support a little.it gets down to around 46 but kinda warms up at idle I belive its because of the factory condenser I'm going to try a new hi flow up dated one and see if that helps
