Aftermarket A/C...(random install pics)

Madgyver · Aug 19, 2007

I've been getting emails about my A/C install.
Words cannot say it better than pics so I thought I should start a picture thread for others to view.
Please add your pics to this thread if you have any with a brief description.

I still haven't figured out the idle solenoid bump yet so for now I'm still using my in-dash cable idle control to bump the idle when the A/C is on.....

It's COOL!

These are pics of my BC Bronco's VintageAir kit for V-belt on a 351W..

Modified core support to move radiator forward.....

Madgyver · Aug 19, 2007

Pics taken today.
Move radiator forward a little more, (notice not aluminum, back to copper core).
Modified (clocked outlet) tubing coming out of compressor.
mad built cross fitting for 351W coolant crossover.
pic of in-dash idle control.
A/C controls using stock locations and Duke's billet knobs (notice heater control on bottom of dash next to center vent) It's hardly used.
pics with ducts under dash to vents (tight fit with in-dash CD deck)

Holy Crap!!!

Why did you need to modify the core support so radically?

I noticed there is very little contact on the alt. Does it turn ok under a load? I will be adding mine before another 100+* summer. Nice job.

That is why I have 2 belts on the compressor pulley. 1 wraps the alt pulley pretty good..

You didn't eat another radiator?

I like the shot with the Corona lite.
The A/c install looks "COOL"
I think of you when I see the Corona ads on the tube.

I have a Vintage Air unit that has a much different bracket and belt set-up. It runs the compressor on it's oun belt and has a three groove crank pulley. The unit works really good but I need to be able to throttle the heat a bit better.

I see that now. Sorry, the first picture took over my brain and would not allow any new input on the matter.

I just received my kit from Chuck. It comes with the p/s pump multi bracket; yet I dont see it in the a/c instructions, interesting...

I guess me and Mad will have to figure this out Sunday.

The multi steer bracket is a new addition to the A/C kit if you have any Q's call us

Is it ok to love a Bronco vendor?

As long as you do it from across an ocean.

Well..I'll stick to intensely liking BC Broncos then. It's been my experience that they're always there for us; and sometime when we least expect it.
