I really like the subaru conversions being done here lately.
Got me wondering how hard it would be to adapt the subaru AC components to a 914. I realize that new barrier hoses will be needed because of the length. The ac console may not fit either. Where does the AC compressor sit on the motor and would it fit in the 914 engine bay? Thanks, John |

Thanks, John In the stock location the compressor sits right on top of the engine along side the alternator. Plenty of space and no problem with fit. I left mine ready for the compressor to be put back in, left space in front of the radiator, and have a 914 underdash AC unit. In theory with a dryer and a set of custom hoses it should all work together. I intend to put it in One of These Days, but haven't done it yet. Alternatively with the stock compressor Classic Air in San Antonio has a "Hot Rod" system that looks pretty slick. |
