Computer is Out

I swapped in a 350 carbed Vette motor in place of the 305 TPI and took out the cpu. What do I need to do to keep th A/C working? I believe the cpu controlled at least the high pressure cut off.

Re: Computer is Out

No it didnt

The ECM controlled the relay ground leg and had a tee into the compressor control to bump up the idle when AC was engaged. The pressure switches were for the safety/function of the system. If the pressure was too high or too low they opened the compressor circuit disabling AC until pressure could be restored

Emulate an earlier carb setup
