AC in an AAZ Caddy
« on: May 23, 2010, 04:44:56 am »
going to install an AAZ in my 81 pickup with factory AC, would like to use the AAZ compressor and serp belt. Anyone ever done it? does it all fit? what do I do just cut the hose ends off the truck system and attach them to the hose ends on the AAZ AC compressor fittings? If anyone's done it and has any useful info I'd appreciate it.
Look, if corn and kudzu fall in love and have a baby in a lab under the supervision of scientists working in my employ, WHO AM I TO STOP THAT other than the CEO responsible for stopping it???

Thanks Guy that's what I'm finding on a websearch too, oh well.

i'm sure if you spent the time,
some a/c lines could be bent/fabbed up to fit?

If I was to guess the problem is with clearing the frame rail for the waterpump and crank pulley?
