This pic shows how much I bent the modified manifold to make it work with the Sanden. EDIT: this pic shows the bottom of the compressor.


The oil cooler lines had to be placed closer to the engine block in order for the Suction line to clear the side.


The discharge lower rubber hose will need to be lengthen to be properly seated underneath the fan shroud as in the stock setup.


The GH head uses a smaller diameter center mounting bolt. To prevent potential movement, I made a bushing to close the gap on the manifold.



I have a ways to go with this project. I still need to rip apart the dash so I can clean out the evaporator. I'm dreading this task and just dragging my feet on it. I'm putting in new hoses and a new parallel condenser that larger than my existing one. I'm looking forward to when this done.
