Re: Flipper turns keeper... 67 upgrades
Also worked on installing the classic auto air. I bought the LS kit that came with the necessary compressor bracket and the belt.
The good news and Bad news was I had the 130 amp alternator (good) which caused the belt not to fit(bad) because it had a different pulley on it.
I could either replace the pulley and use the supplied belt or put a longer belt on. I chose the longer belt.
I then had to relocate the fill tank that was right in the way of said bracket. It too became a PIA as it had a special factory hose that was a two piece “y” that attaches to the fill tank and the heater core. Of course when I moved and bolted it in the perfect location I figured out the hard way that the hose would need modification and the tank would now be in the way of the hinge when I got back to installing the hood!
I love a bit of a challenge so we just redid it again.
