variable orifice tube from orileys is like 20 bucks or so.


When i converted my 83 (a whole week ago!) The ac tech told me bring him a new drier/accum. variable orifice tube, 8 ounces of ester oil, conversion fittings and id be in business. I also bought a new low pressure switch (kept it r12 by ac techs suggestion) as they tend to go bad. I have the R4 style compressor on mine, not sure if its the light duty or heavy duty, but if it would be a freezer with an r4 heavy i wish i would have gone that route just for the sake of being ice cold.



As for the condenser, because of the stock large frontal area of our pickups the stock condenser area is fine. Although my fan speed is not quite as fast as id like, so im thinking about bolting in the fan from a 92 extended cab because supposedly they bolt right in, and my vent temps are good but the fan doesnt quite get to me sometimes.
