Hello amigos,
Just passing along my findings in hopes to help anyone looking to add air condition to their vehicle without robbing HP. I found an affordable 12 volt AC compressor on Amazon.

This looks like the one I bought for my car.

I will let you know how it works once it is in.

what is the alternator requirement for this, i dont see listed what the amp draw is, but i would assume we would still need a 150amp alternator, then other needed parts like
condenser dryer etc., Clay where are you going to mount the compressor, in spare tire location ? would save running any coolant lines front to back. could it fit where the washer bottle is?

@ClayPerrine

The AC compressor is going in the right rear corner of the front trunk. The lines from the evaporator and condenser are already setup to go there. I will be using hard metal lines instead of flex lines to hook it all up. The compressor control unit will go under the gas tank on the left side. I will run a dedicated electrical line from the battery positive to the control unit so I know I have enough amps.

And I have a 964 engine with a 180Amp alternator in it. So I am not worried about available amps. Yes, it will make an additional load on the engine, but it beats trying to find a place to mount an AC compressor on the engine.

Hi Clay, Please let us know how it all works out for you. I like your ideas for this type of ac system. Can you tell me where you sourced your A/C hard lines and line bender, i have only found rubber flex lines but I also prefer hard lines.

Thanks
Al

Al,
I am going to make the hard lines. I will get the fittings off the ends of the flexible lines, and Summit has the tool to make the o-ring flange.
