AC condenser question
Will a AC condenser from a serpentine belt system work on a V-belt setup? Let's here it gurus. hahaha

Re: AC condenser question
I'm guessing you meant compressor since the condenser is sitting in front of the radiator and doesn't care what kind of an engine is in there

Re: AC condenser question
No I am talking about the condenser. Wondering since the compressor spins the opposite way if it would make a difference in the condenser.

Re: AC condenser question
Serpintene compressor will spin the opposite direction than the v-belt. will the fluid be going through the condenser differently? Just clarifying might have been more confusing though

Re: AC condenser question
Compressor runs the same direction either with v belt or serpentine. It's the water pump that spins backwards on the serp.
Condenser is the same for both setups.

Re: AC condenser question
I knew about the water pump spinning the opposite direction. Is that the only accesory that spins opposite in a serpentine system?
