Let's see what you did for A/C

I'm trying to decide what I want to do for A/C. It's starting to get hot out here and I want to enjoy my ls swap

What are some options? I swapped a 5.3 into my 85 4x4. I have the stock compressor off the 5.3 motor. I can't mount it because it would hit the frame and my motor mounts.

I've seen the relocation brackets. What else do I need to do to hook it up to my condensor and get it blowing into my cab? Will my 85 truck parts accept R-134a? I don't know A/C

Glock's build describes this in detail for a 5.3 motor swap.

Re: Let's see what you did for A/C

Your only optio right now bud is the relocation brackets, There is one that uses an A4 compressor ( I think that is stock for an 85) search for it and I bet you can find one.
