Re: L83 Swap 1988 Suburban - Stock AC Compressor

Got the a set back from the machinist.. absolute work of art!



low side (bigger adapter) points upwards about 90º to the frame for most clearance. Manifolds in the pictures are camaro manifolds.... fit like a champ in my current project, BMW x5 gen5 swap.





I still cant find what hose the factory uses on the Low side, its reduced barrier 12 I believe, but the info on the hose I had on my swap, forwarded it to the manufacturer, Parker, and they couldn't help out.. but its long enough for a 73-87 swap and very flexible... minimal strain! .. so if someone snags the low side hose, its worth it if you can get it cheap
