Gen V vintage air system using ford explorer A/C Compressor

[Ken Beam]

Need help. I am doing an Explorer swap on my 74 Bronco. Installed the Vintage Air Gen V A/C system but now I am wondering how to attach High and Low pressure lines to Explorer Compressor. Any help with parts and how you completed your installation would be highly appreciated.

call vintage, they should help, it really depends how you want to rout them back to under dash.

I bought the adapter for the compressor from BCB. It has been a awhile... Dirt Donk owns that Bronco now, if you need pictures...

Talk to these people. https://www.aircomponents.com/
They have adapter blocks to convert the bolt on hoses to normal screw on A/C hoses. I've used them for several projects, some oddballs. The bastard factory Ford nylon liquid line on my '77 F250, not a problem and converted to regular #6 liquid line. Even added a high pressure switch. Also did a 12V mini split and they helped me get away from some oddball fittings. I would need to check the compressor, but something like https://www.aircomponents.com/product/compressor-fitting-bolt-on-12-x-10-vertical/ comes to mind. there are a lot of options. I used LS conversion adapters to mate to the 12V compressor.

I bought a Vintage-Air adaptor to bolt to the stock compressor. Email them for the part number.
I'll look to see if I can find the part # somewhere.
Vintage Air # 045017 or 045018 look to be the adaptors.

Yup, like mentioned, you need the adapter block.

Was part #045017 for me, same setup.
