Looks like a nice job there GJ. Let us know how it works.

A/C charged and blowing cold air. System works real well and is colder than the factory type compressor I had. The sanden cycles and the cycling switch is adjustable so I had to turn it up a little for the compressor to stay on longer.Thanks for all the advise and ideas.  Ricky.

Excellent - it makes it all worth it doesn't it? I am looking forward to getting mine put back together and am still waiting on my chrome plater.

did any of you guys have to set up an idleup solenoid to compensate your idle speed while the compressor was running? No one has talked about that and I was just wondering how that worked out for you. I have an automatic trans which loads down the engine at idle pretty good.

I have an idle up solenoid on mine. It is wired in where I plugged the compressor in. The cycling switch is before this connection so when the compressor cycles off the solenoid is off also. I ordered a solenoid and bracket for the model Holley carb I have from my local parts store.

I use my right foot as a compensater

Cheap AND easy 

  $800 generator bolted to the trunk + $200 window unit duct taped through smashed window = NUTS !

for ingenuity but he shoulda just fixed the damn A/C!
