Hey Folks I have found a parts car that has AC and Im wondering if I can put this on my car.Its a 71 maverick with the 200 six I think. Will all the parts work on My 72 Comet or what. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tim
Tim, I think there are differences in the compressor and mounting brackets between that 6 and your 302. Seth
If its a factory ac and your think of converting yours, its alot of work. Been there, done that. Factory or reproduction parts are not available such as the condensor/dryer assembly. Other things that go bad are the vacuum switch, evaporator, and the air boxes them selves. As they age, they get brittle. If you do go the factory route, have the evaporator tested befor you install it and slap a new heater core in there as well. I think I would go with an aftermarket system unless you want the factory look. Either way go with the sandon compressor. Have all new hoses made. And as Seth said, you still need all the brackets and pullies.
Classic Auto Air sales just about everything you might need for your factor A/C system. Fortunatly for us the 71-73 mustang has an identicle A/C box as the maverick. The 67-70 boxes are the same on the outside but the evaporator core is different. I picked up a 77 box for the new car for under $100 for everything (vents and stuff) so I missed the $900-$1200 sticker shock of the aftermarket system.
