Let's talk about AC

[coolhandluke]

I don't have AC in my R and this needs to change.

I am looking for a complete list of the parts needed to put AC in a Non-AC R. Thank you.

You just need to swap out the button on the climate control and you're good to go.

Pffft. I hope Erik sees this and busts your balls for wanting a/c.

[Little_Nolan]

My Giizr has all the AC stuff and I do not use it... interested?

[Erik95LS]

Pffft. I hope Erik sees this and busts your balls for wanting a/c.

why would I? I have A/C. Ryan still drives his cars everywhere. you're just a puss who won't go to Mid-Ohio because you can't handle driving more than an hour without it

Dragon = OKAY!
Mid Ohio = NO WAY

Hey Hey! FYI CMP is 3 hours away!! Yowzers!

Speaking of A/C. I supposedly have all the parts in a box from Jack. He reccomended that I get a new evaporator as the old one obviously hasn't been used for a while and has been exposed to the environment. However, anyone knowledgeable on installing? Besides mounting the condensor, I wouldn't know where to start.

[Erik95LS]

A/C is over-rated. Only needed when it's raining. Windows should always be down anyway.

[turbohf]

yep, you will need to replace the evap/dryer forsure. guys at work (honda dealer) got all whiny about mine being open. something about mosture in the system and pressures. luckly i ordered anyone anyway, they called me a jew for not just putting it in. lol

love my AC... it works great when its cold and rainy here in seattle lol. clears the fog off the windows asap.

Yessir. I still want to get a comprehensive list for myself and others in the future. I am going to look up the Evap/Dryer parts now.

[coolhandluke]

Can anyone tell me which part's are the ones that need to be replaced?

Picture A:


Picture B:

[turbohf]

#10

[coolhandluke]

Number 10 from Picture A or Picture B?

[turbohf]

lol, i was on my phone. didnt notice...

pic B. and if your anal, you might wanna get the o-rings for it too.

[coolhandluke]

Are you referring to the 22 in the diagram? It appears there are two of them.

[turbohf]

yep. thats the one. there are two lines that go into it. so you should get both.

[itr #1334]

So this pulley fell off my r and the bolt broke off inside. I don't now what the pulley attaches to is called. How easy is it to take out? I just know my ac doesn't work now and its hot

[turbohf]

i have extras of thoses.

[itr #1334]

i have extras of thoses.

The pulley or where the pulley is bolted to? I have the pulley.

[walker111]

I bet you can take the bolt out with your hand. I've had that happen 3 times and each time I was able to get it out easily.

[98spec022]

Yeah i have the same problem, but have been too lazy to get the bolt out and replace it. I'll have to replace the AC belt as well since I cut it off after the idler pulley bolt sheared off.

[coolhandluke]

I now have everything from Image A but the really expensive fuses and harness (No. 23).




I have most of the parts from Image B. I'm not sure what lines or brackets/bolts (if any) I am missing.




I have the compressor (hope it works), the AC lower torque mount/brack, and belt.

[98spec022]

Looks like you're almost there Ry.

Update: the broken part of the bolt apparently vibrated itself out. Team Lazy ftw

[Bowdwn]

how much all that stuff going to cost for the A/C...i ws never interested in A/C for my R until I had to drive back from Expo 10 i thought I was going to die while the whole time doespike and ford prefect where laughing at me .......really interested in doing this and glad coolhandluke posted this so now i have somewhere to start.....

[coolhandluke]

My hope is this thread will be a good reference point for others who were not fortunate enough to have dealer installed AC (97-98's) or factory installed AC (00-01').
