Subject:Re: A/C info on 85 front mount Update

I gave up a partsvan that has that AC. It's being parted this week and
into next week. Once I'm done with this long holiday, I will take some
time to remove some parts off that system. I have one in a box but
don't want to ruin all the pretty wrapping. Makes sense to take the
one apart in the van because nobody here wants it. It will be good
practice and nice refresher course. Have the same AC in my '84 which
is connected to the Subie compressor. Otherwise, it's the same as the
one in your van.
