    We need to find you a fitting that directs the hoses to the front of the vehicle instead of the side. Let me look and see what we can find you.

    See how my hoses are facing forward out of the block and 90 out of the fitting back to the drier and go forward to the condenser.

    Docs Blocks is your best bet with the 90 on the fitting like this.


    Your other option is to go with a 99/2000 compressor with my type fitting.

    That 90* fitting still may not clear the mount, it would have to be tweaked a little which could turn out bad since its aluminum. If all else fails I guess I can just go with the older compressor.

    Also I'm reworking a DBC harness to replace my DBW setup that I have now. What,if any plugs of the A/C system can I get rid of ?

    I was told that I can do without these:
    Secondary A/C highpressure switch
    A/C request signal
    A/C clutch relay control
    A/C comp. cycling switch signal

    That would leave only:
    A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal
    A/C comp. clutch supply voltage

    Does that sound right?



    I found this fitting on docs blocks but it is for the suction side. They have one for the discharge side but the tube comes out of the side. I'm going to email them and see if I can get this fitting in the smaller size.

    We could always modify the fitting. I had to machine down my aluminum block for more clearance when the motor torques down on the passenger side.
