WTB: AC Components (Circa '84, V-Belt)

Hey guys,

Looking for a few things to get AC hooked up after dropping in my new motor in my TA. The PO partially disassembled it. Feel free to advise me if I'm forgetting anything.

What I need:

Compressor & v-belt Pulley (bolts would help, too)
High Pressure Line
Low Pressure Line

I know I'll also need to purchase a new dryer, and an orifice tube (although I'm not sure what it does or where it goes). I have the condenser and evaporator, assuming they're good.

Still looking? I have it.
You would have to have the compressor at least upgraded for use with R134A
since you can't get R12 anymore - but I have some cans.

Jorlain, reach out for Jason at the firebird ranch in St Francis MN. He everything you need. I believe he has something like 25 birds/Camaro on hand. Plus he has parted many, many cars. Good guy, I bought all the parts from him. Tell him Byron sent you. He is on craigslist, if you can't find him. Pm me and I will give you phone, etc. byron

Good call - I follow him on Facebook, but for some reason never thought to ask him about the A/C stuff. I've been thinking I might just be better off converting to a serpentine setup to make it easier to find a newer compressor, etc. I'm sure he probably has all or most of that.

Re: WTB: AC Components (Circa '84, V-Belt)

Well, if you want to part with all of the seprentine brackets, bolts, etc, too, sure thing.

I'm really considering just swapping over to a serpentine setup. This just seems far more difficult than it should be. 82-84 stuff is getting difficult to find.
