L83 Swap 1988 Suburban - Stock AC Compressor

[87chevy.com]

these were just 3d printed to make sure fitment was correct. at the time these didn't get any interested in gen5 swaps.
I wound up using the stock a/c compressor hoses and had the suction, big one, redone.
the variable part of the compressor can be disabled by just giving the solenoid power/ground just like the clutch and it works like a non variable compressor.

Ill send the drawing files to the machine shop to see what they say.

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
