Need A/C Answers, Its hot in MS.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to get the A/C working on my 85. I went to the parts house to price a new compresser, dryer, condenser ect.. They asked if i needed a 9o'clock or 12 o'clock Compresser and i didn't know. The truck didn't have a compresser or brackets on it when i bought it. (or maybe it did have the brackets when we swaped motors and are laying in the pile of extra parts i have. Anyway...Does anyone know which one i need, or have any pictures of there Compresser so i can see the brackets? Any help would be nice.

I may have the old compressor off of my 85 in the shop. it worked fine when i pulled it for the lq9 swap. I will look tomorrow and let you know.

Just out of curiousity,.... what's it mean about the 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock deal for the compressors??

SatisTraction · 08-25-2010, 05:38 PM

i must have chunked the compressor and brackets. i dont have them any longer.

StrokinRat · 08-25-2010, 08:56 PM

Thanks guys. Cali- I think it has to do with the electrical plug on it, but not for sure. Thanks anyway Statis- I'll run to pull apart and pick some brackets up.

SatisTraction · 08-25-2010, 09:08 PM

i have a complete serpentine set up if that can help you.

when are you going to the pull a part? i might join you.

72freak · 08-25-2010, 10:05 PM

It has to do with the electrical plug placement. Top at 12 or on the left at 9.

Statis- I do want a serpentine system but i'm trying to get the thing ready for Crusin the Coast (My wife said we had to have a/c this year since our 5 month old will be crusin with us) and i don't have but a couple of weekends open b/t now and then. So i went ahead an ordered all my stuff today and picking it up tomorrow. My dad went by pull apart and picked up the brackets. He said theres a couple of square bodys that they just got in so there some good stuff left on them.
