I'm looking to do a 3.0 six, but need to maintain the AC from the four. Likely I'll need a different compressor and mounting scheme, but anyone BTDT?
TIA, |

The 911 compressor mounts can't be used in a 914 unless you put a big dent in the firewall to clear the compressor. But that will distort the backpad and limit the rearward travel of the driver's seat.
You need something like this:  I created this for my 914/6 conversion. It allows you to put the compressor in almost the same location as in the 4 cylinder cars, plus it makes changing the belt extremely easy. No more fooling with the shims behind the fan pulley. |
