under hood AC parts
« on: August 06, 2015 - 08:18:06 AM »
I am looking for all the parts that go under the hood on a 70-74 cuda. I would prefer if they were in canada as our dollar is terrible right now. I need lines, compressor,  front condenser that goes by the grill, heater fan and wheel. I don't want a vintage AC set up. The car is a original AC car. I would consider a stock looking setup if someone has done something similar.

Thanks

 Big block or small block, and where in Canada are you located?

Small block. I'm in kamloops bc. Not worried about shipping,  I'm more concerned about our dollar value in the states. That's why I would prefer Canada

The underhood kit sold by Bouchillon Performance is a great up grade from the stock compressor. Look at their website, they have everything you need.

                                        :iagree:  At least consider upgrading to a Sanden compressor, and have custom hoses made for it.  :2cents:

I would that setup be compatible with the original evaporator in the dash and my factory controls?

                       Yes, compatible. This is how I did it on Toxic's Challenger with the factory evaporator, condenser, expansion valve and drier. I have the pattern to build the hoses, compressor and mounts from Bouchilon. Worked perfect, no changes to controls. I build my own A/C hoses.

I have just about all the ac parts off my 71 cuda.  (340) I upgraded to the sanden set-up but I'm in NJ (08854) USA. If you interested let me know
