Sweet, Just when I swapped my motor to a six.

Anything available for the six?

I'm offering for sale a complete kit in order to mount an A/C compressor on top of the motor which requires no cutting to the engine shelf. I've been running a similar setup for some time with good results. (See this thread here : http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=192917) The compressor mounts directly to a non-smog engine fan shroud with no cutting or drilling.

Price: $360+Shipping

If you have any questions, just ask.

A few notes:
-The compressor is currently set up to run R12. In order to run R134 the oil in the compressor needs to be changed out. I can do this for the cost of oil.
-The compressor fits without any major cutting or drilling however there may be interference with the engine bay insulating pad so minor modification to the pad may be necessary.
-A swivel allen wrench will be necessary to install the pulley adapter.
-Cosmetically the welds didn't come out perfect as I would have liked so if I make any more, they will be at a slightly increased price. This mount is still 100% functional as is.
-This kit, in theory, can be mounted with the engine in the car with the removal of the front tin.

If you have any questions, just ask. :beer2 if possibl:

Doug, Can I get the kit minus the compressor?

This thread is from 2013 guys, Doug's not replied since then.

I'd love these items too, preferably in aluminum if possible.

Why doesn't someone PM him? He's still active here on the World (he was logged on today). Maybe he's not paying attention to the classifieds.

I thought I did, so I checked my out going PM... Nov. 9,2018 - no reply.

I've often wondered how the compressors mounted for the /4s. Good info.

Sounds good, Doug! Can you put me in for a pre-order, if and when you have them available? I'm 2 1/2 years into a complete restoration on my '74. Mounting the compressor on the engine seems like it will be "forever" from now.

I'd like the complete set up. That would give me a reason to go to the mountains.

Something I've always wondered about..does the valance or air dam not interfere with the air into that intake scoop?

It's true. I've been off the grid for a while in regards to A/C stuff. After completing the initial development on this stuff, life really took off for me. Finished school, got a job, had two kids and I also moved to the mountains where A/C is not required. I've had quite a few inquire about this stuff over the years but I've never been in a position to start the project back up as I've had so much going on with "life".

With that being said I am now working on making a small volume of pullies and adapters to get started. I also have some more prototyping work going on with the mount. Hopefully I will be able to offer more in the future but no guarantee as to if/when that will happen.

In the meantime if anyone would like to tackle their own AC system, I am more than happy to help and support anyway I can.

.. Doug, any plans to start building these kits again? If not, any chance you can you let me know the length of the pulley extender so I can start the process of fabricating my own. Thanks in advance.

.. Need to get back to the A/C pulling and bracket stuff. Does anyone have any updated info on possibly acquiring the mount and pull system? Or, at least the specs so I start fabricating these parts. Thanks in advance.
