Re: Connecting LS A/C to Factory Air

If you can TIG, then it becomes pretty easy to do. If you can't, then you need to find someone who can, then its still pretty easy. You get the factory low side fitting and TIG a barb fitting on it, then you can crimp the hose on it. For the high side, if you can find a 99-07 GM SUV in the junk yard, you can snag the upper condenser line off it, and it will bolt to the high side of the compressor, but will come straight out the front so you don't need to notch the hell out of the frame. You will also have to weld a barb fitting on this than crimp on your hoses. There's pics in my build thread on LS1Tech, there's a link in my signature, the rusty one, not the blue one.
