Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

I am about to start me conversion with a 5.3/ 4l60 in my 67 C20 and I have looked and examined all the pics of this thread and have seen several trucks running the factory a/c compressor in factory location however I was told today that the factory compressor will not work properly on the old systems due to how they work and the expansion valve on the old systems. I was told that in hot areas like Texas when its 100+ that the cold air will surge in and out due to the pressure building up on the expansion valve. He said they work fine in areas where it doesn't get real hot and that they will also not work well unless the vehicle is moving and engine is turning higher RPM's. Can anyone shed some light on this.
