Factory A/C Condenser


FrankRizzo

Recommended Posts

Im thinking my next project is to retrofit A/C...wish me luck. I have to mix and match parts to get it to work. I think I'm going to try the Vintage Air slim line heat/cool/defrost under dash unit in the cab and the KA24DE factory mount compressor, but the condenser is still an issue for me. 

 

Condenser question for those that know please - Did the A/C condenser that is in the parts manual mount in front of the bulkhead/core support or behind it sandwiched by radiator (Rad if you are Canadian) ?. Im golden if it mounted in front, but its a problem if it sandwiched the Rad, I dont have enough room from the front of the KA, I'd have to get a slimmer radiator. Oics always helpful. 

 

Thanks.

Condenser always mountts in front of radiator.

 

Be sure head gasket is not leaking, not 25-40 years old.

 

Get the biggest new condenser you can find, to fit the opening and get most air flow, along with a 3 row or aftermarket 4 row radiator.

 

Be sure the cooling system is flushed, freeze plugs are solid, thermostat is new, heater core is flushed and too leaks, good water pump, and superior electric or clutch fan system. AC puts a huge burden on your cooling system.
