Changing A/C components in V8 swap?
I have an 83 SC Camaro that I am swapping from V6 to 350. Is a V6 cars a/c stuff (box, evaporater core, condenser, drier, relays, ect.)different than a V8 cars? If so what needs to be changed? I have a 305 donor car for parts. Is it necessary to change it? It looks the same on both cars.
Any help is Greatly appreciated!

The hoses are different (because of the shorter engine). The brackets are certainly different. The compressor, evaporator, etc., are all the same (not sure about the condensor, but I believe it is the same, too).
The system can be removed intact, without breaking any hoses, since you have a V8 version available. That's what I did (sure wish the V8 system worked - does, now, 3 years later...).
