Re: aftermarket heat and ac

Karl, What engine are you using? IF a 305-V-6 you will need to custom make a set of brackets to hold the compressor in the block, no one makes one. I have one that I will use in the future but maybe have a copy made at a local shop.

Re: aftermarket heat and ac

Also make sure you have an alternator that can handle the increased amperage (the AC/Heat/Defrost fans are a big draw) especially if you also have a stereo, electric cooling pusher/puller fans etc.

I'm dropping my alternator off in the morning to get it beefed up and one wire it
