Re: Looking to fix my AC

Norville, I'm doing a similar swap as you, but in an '89 c1500. Also using the R4 compressor and stock wiring. I'm using an ebay purchased mount to put the compressor in the same position as the stock '89 unit so that the stock (but new) lines can be utilized. Make sure you flush your system thoroughly before recharging, and replace all the o-rings. The kit you showed should provide you with all that you need.

Several years ago, I put an LS into an '80 C10 and used the stock , down low, LS AC compressor. I used Tejas Steelworks mounts to move the engine far enough forward to use the compressor without having to cut the frame for fitment, but it also required custom hoses and manifold.
