Pulled A/C from early 911: Wow! It's heavy!
 

For the weight conscious out there, I've seen numbers for modern cars but not for early ones.

Here is ALL the junk I pulled from my 73.5 T! Who'd have thought there was so much, all the way to the heavy compressor brackets !

And the weight ? 78 lbs dry ! If you add all the fasteners I left on to not expose the holes, the compressor belt, a few clips I reused and the refrigerant, you are easily >85 lbs ! And I could not remove the bits that were welded in the nose, including the holder for that round thing at the top of the screen !

I know it's all worthless so I'll probably junk it all/give it away except the row of vents that go under the dash which I hear is actually worth something !!! Anyway, passing it along !! 80 pounds, wow !

took mine out to years ago...always wondered how much the stuff weighed.

Thanks

Greg, how much do you want for that AC vent?
Whole lot?
What part of the country are you?
Thanks ...

Greg:
I could use one or two of the aluminum valve caps from the compressor if they are in good shape.

KarlusMagnus, I'm in Tampa, FL. I am really not sure what the AC vents are worth and I hate to guess, but several people have offered to buy them. Interestingly nobody ever mentioned a price ;-) Ebay ? Any ideas out there ?

Whole lot ? Dirt cheap but shipping would be a pain and might cost you more than it's worth @ 80 lbs! - well the hoses could be cut or disconnected, they are worthless anyway but the rest is still heavy, particularly the compressor. Everything worked fine when I pulled it, but it was losing charge over time and it was time to recharge or remove.... I'd think It'd be a pain to reassemble the whole lot without guidance !!

>aluminum valve caps from the compressor

I have no idea what those are, got a picture ?

Why not start an auction right here?

First bid $9.11

Good work Greg! It's definitely a noticeable difference and makes maintenance MUCH easier! Now if only I could find a way to dump all this crap...

That looks like my garage. Wish someone would come and take my AC stuff.

Greg,

My spec books for '69-'71 and '75 give the air con unit weight as approx 35 kg which translates as around 77lbs.

Cheers,
Dennis.:)
