Tried the LT1 Caprice a/c lines...
Well, someone in an earlier post claimed they made the LT1 caprice a/c lines work with LT1 f-body A/C in a 3rd gen.
I bought used caprice lines and tried to visualize how they could work. The lines would have to bent but thats not the problem. The lines would have to go up through inbetween the rear and middle tubes of the passenger side header. That would make it suck if you ever had to remove the header or engine. Plus, the lines seem like they were too long and seem like they would be in the way of stuff.

Yep, a while back I posted about hotrod air and the name of the tech that hooked me up with custom blocks, fittings, and hoses made to custom length.. Been so long I can't remember who the tech was but if you search my name you will find it on here. Got nothing but good things to say about how he handled my requests.

I tried for two years to get the F body A/C setup to work. I tried F body lines, the carquest adapter and for nothing. The line would have had to go between the header and the head. This is why I went the way I did. I talked with Wayne at Hotrodair. The service was great and he knew exactly what to get me. I posted pics in this post. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...acum-help.html
