This is the first car i have that was a factory air car. I am trying to figure out what I need to finish it. does anybody have pictures of they're engine compartment with factory air that shows all the parts? I have the compressor and hoses and the box at the firewall with the POA valve.
All I have to go by is a factory assembly manual and that is not the best.

I've tried a search for this and couldn't find anything. Any help is appreciated

Thanks
Dave

You still need a condenser,drier,small tube from drier to liquid line,jumper tube from condenser to drier, and the brackets to mount drier to condenser. They all mount only one way so you should not need much more than laying it out in front of you.

Looking at the car and going right to left....The short hose from the compressor attaches to top of condenser. The long jumper line goes from the bottom of condenser to the drier. The small line goes from the drier to the liquid line that attaches to the evaporator.

You will need new correct O-rings for your application as well as your POA valve checked. I would also reccomend a new expansion valve.
