Make sure you check the Bentley where it shows a modification to use the sd
709 instead of a 510,or you will be hot,bothered and broke.Ron is rubbing
his hands and licking his chops over this. If you got a 709, you will have
to adapt, or change the rear backing head,and/or hoses to use the 510. This
is a swap of heads.It is not a simple exchange of compressors I have never
worked on a post 85 vanagon a/c , so I cant say for sure.As for the
condensor, dont know either.I think you can stick your fingers in the
radiater and grill area and feel for 2 sections.What you really need (and
me) is a duel condenser.Will the person who has done this and posted it
(cant find it) step forward and tell us where we can find the details on
this miricle of vanagon a/c.Thanks
