I believe if the A/C system is opened up it is customary to replace not the evaporator but the receiver/dryer.� I bought one of these from one of our vendors in preparation for working on my van, and on�my '87 Westy the R/D is located in the LR wheelwell, attached outboard of the frame rail just ahead of the tire.� You can see it pretty easily but I don't know how easy it is to remove and replace.

Greetings

FYI� the "new" engine is rebuilt and installed in the Vanagon.� If you hear a loud bang sometime Wednesday it will be head exploding after firing the "new" engine up and discovering a crank sticking out of the side of the case!� Keep your fingers crossed.

After having the AC compressor off the replacement engine for four months, I am presuming I have to replace the evaporator as it will now be full of good old Florida humidity..� Can I buy these anywhere or is it a hunting quest?� And - where is the little beastie?
