erachter Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hi all, I have the AC compressor and probably some AC lines(but not a full kit, can they be easily fabricated?). What other parts do I need? I know I need a new belt and an AC condenser. Would the stock AC condenser fit with an aftermarket radiator+electric fans? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 If you are undertaking what is effectively a new system install then you may as well look to gear it towards the R134a refrigerant replacement which in automotive terms is R-1234yf. I know a good amount about R134a use in cars from previous jobs and that refrigerant is now being phased out (you won't see it in new mainstream cars any longer) so everyone is either going to end up paying a lot more for the rapidly dwindling supplies of R134a refrigerant or face having to retrofit a new gas into their current setup which usually entails compromises which means inevitably a less efficient cooling setup. So, if it were me about to embark on reinstalling a a/c system I'd start by first doing some reasearch into if the new refrigerant uses moidified components, like the compressors, like the hose composition, like the drier, like the condenser and like the evaporator. I'd want to check all that out before committing to reinstalling a R134a system into a car today over installing a future proofed system.
