I took my S-10 A/C line and the end out of the G-Body line and had a hybrid line made at the local parts store. I now have all the physical pieces installed to have air conditioning this summer. Making everything seal, however...
I've had mine working 2 or 3 times. Getting a compressor to last is a completely different story; the Bonne likes to eat them for some reeason. You have no idea how pissed I'll be if I replace everything (again), and it frags another compressor.

I have an S-10 Blazer that has been donating parts for this, and it wouldn't be a huge deal to replace everything except the evaporator to S-10 parts. Right now, I'll just be happy to make all the o-rings seal.

installed the new line set. still waiting on the regulator. got the new filter in.didnt realize it was that big. View attachment 111054

Damn near bigger than your air filter!
Do yourself (and your poor engine) a favour and get rid of that tiny thing!

Engines need to breathe, air in air out = efficiency = HP.

it is just sitting on the engine to keep the carb covered.

Ok good. I’m very relieved to hear that. I don’t know how many people I’ve seen try and actually use an air filter that size and then wonder why they’re not making any power.

Carry on sir, looking good.
