An 8-10 hour job? Oh - I don't think so!

Weekend #2 - spent the day completing the Duehl Kuehl condenser installation, hoses, wiring and rock guards. Also cleaned up engine bay wiring from previously installed 3-fans on the rear deck condenser. Flushed the rear deck condenser with mineral spirits. It will be the only reused component in my new A/C system.

All thats left now is to install the rebuilt compressor, connect the high pressure lines at the ProCooler, evac and charge the system!

Here are a few pics from today:





Instuctions called for running the fan wiring through an existing rubber gromment in engine bay to the fender on "later year" cars or drilling a hole if no gromment is present. Since I could not find a grommet, I opted for running a wire along the high pressure line to the condensers rather than drilling.





Home brew condenser flush. I'm not real proud of this but it was effective. Flushed the rear condenser without removing it using a pressurized garden sprayer filled with mineral spirits followed by pressurized air to blow it all out. Got quite a bit of crud flushed out of it!
