well like some or most when we get the car and the a/c doesn't wortrk it gets tossed. now I want to put it all back on. seeing as it is going to be an expensive endeavor I was looking thru ebay. especially since I removed everything. came across this kit and was wondering if anyone had tried it or what your thoughts on it are.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-92-CAMARO-Hi-Po-A-C-System-Upgrade-Kit-w-Evaporator-AC-Air-Conditioning-IROC-/400416571239?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1992%7CModel%3ACamaro&hash=item5d3aafff67&vxp=mtr

 

that kit in no way will just bolt on.especially that sanden compressor. not that you cant fab it .and not that it wont work. but it would be easier ,and look better to use parts that are actually designed for our cars.good luck

 

the kit does come with pretty good instructions.link in the ad.

 

The mount & drive is pretty simple really; the kit probably comes with brackets that will work, if not, piece o cake to make something up.

I used to work at a place that sold aftermarket AC systems back in the early 70s. We used York compressors, and had M&Ds for virtually EVERY brand of motor in every chassis it came in. You'd be amazed at how simple it really is to get an AC to work, gotta be the simplest system in a car with the possible exception of the electrical system. Even simpler than the cooling system.

Looks like kind of alot of money, but that's the granddaddy of all AC "kit" companies, so I'd be inclined to suspect it's pretty thoroughly engineered. Sometimes a headache-free install is worth some extra jack.

 

darnit never noticed installation instructions till yall pointed them out. the two brackets that are on the kit adapt it to our serpentine bracket. the rest seems perty simple. from what I read the compressors are pretty good ones. money is coming in so I am thinking I will buy this kit. if I do I will post up the full installation. still will need to buy the evap box and blower motor. and also all the switches. should be about $1000 when all done. perty expensive but if it all works and lasts it will be well worth it.

 

I saw that as well when trying to search for all the parts I need to reinstall A/C on my car. One issue I think I would have with it is I have tall valve covers that are already a close enough fit with the stock compressor. I would imagine the compressor that comes in the kit would hit my valve covers...between that and the fact it is a $750 kit kind've steered me away.

 

Hey man i just ripped all of my AC System out. Kept Pressure just was low on freon and i never used it. If your interested i can post pictures tomorrow? PM me! FYI AC Heater box is damaged. everything else is good!! This came off a 88 Firebird TBI

 

Man I'm not gunna lie this is actually very disappointing and kind of steering me in the direction of just deleting the AC completely since I'd only be taking it out in ideal conditions. I guess I could delete it now and always add the VA kit in the future? Anyone see an issue with that? Just would have to drill the fire wall through the new paint is the only issue I can see?

Has anyone installed the new Surefit systems and had GOOD results? I'm sure tons of people have done analysis on temperature and fan speed results before and after on the older muscle cars. I'm going to look around.

 

I had removed my AC system back in the 90's and decided to reinstall 2019.
I didn't buy the whole kit and reused the evaporator.

Works great
