Don’t mean to hijack, but I learned a lot from this thread and wanted to share.
Just about finished my install. Rennaire upgrade and Griffiths Dual Kuehl. Took about 10hrs + Bass Ale breaks.
Plan is to stay with R12. I have all the equipment needed and a few cans left on my pallet of 12 from many years ago.
I started by pulling the rear condenser and using my flush gun on it. I flushed the entire system about 5 years ago when I revived the old York system, so no crud came out. This ensured all the old oil was out so I start fresh being everything else is brand new.
I then began by pulling the evap. My initial runs started here moving out.
Then I dropped the splash guard on the steering rack. I used my jack to hold the swaybar in place while I removed the bolts. Then reinstalled the bolt to hold the swaybar in place and moved to the other side and repeated. This made it a snap to drop and replace. Hose removal and reinstall was a breeze. Just drop the hoses and fish them out the bottom. Button up the adel clamps and done.
Instead of running the lowside down the driver’s side, I left it on the pass side. I just made the cross in front of the inspection plate and moved some of the C-clips. The pass side run needed to be moved inboard a bit to make up the slack. I like to keep my options open and this way I can easily remove the Pro-cooler and install a stock drier with little effort as the slack is there to reroute my lowside back into the bonnet.
Installed the new evap
and punced the lines into the rear compartment. This was a breeze. As you can see, the hole is very visible to see from underneath. Dead center you see the feed-thru.
I then mounted the rear fender condensor. Fit perfect with no problems.
Called it a night as you can see it got dark.
