A/C Compressor
It's getting a little toasty in New England and I need to get my a/c working.
Wondering if anyone has mated a stock Dodge a/c compressor with the stock GM system. I have both a 1 st gen and 2nd gen Dodge a/c compressor to work with. The 1 st gen has screw on fittings on back of the compressor and the 2nd gen has a block that bolts on.
Thanks for any info

Hoping a couple of o-rings and I can bolt the GM manifold to the back of the Sanden compressor.

Re: A/C Compressor
I have A/C on my chummins. Granted, mine is a 97, but the same idea applies.

I used the stock Dodge hose set up from the back of the compressor. Then I took it to an A/C shop and they modified the connection to fit up with the GM condesor and dryer.

Re: A/C Compressor
I'm running a 94 dodge compressor, with some fittings I got out of a parts book at orieillys. two separate hoses with a center piece that bolts them to the compressor and they are individually clockable. then custom crimped on hoses. works beautiful.

Any chance you have some part numbers?
I'd love to get it hooked without having to weld any aluminum.
