Re: 77 ac setup help.

I have seen the pancake compressor in the pick a parts as early as 82 or so. To me I have seen them mostly on cars.

Personally i would do a serpentine belt swap, and get all the better items.

When my motors time comes I am likely to do a Vortec 350, and I will use either Vortec or TBI accessories. Depending on if the TBI items fit the Vortec engine.

Re: 77 ac setup help.

Vortec setup is a pice of cake. thought about the serpentine swap but my heads don't have all the bolt holes for it.i already have serpentine belt on my truck for the water pump and alt.i can run a v-belt for the compressor. If i get a pancake from a later truck do i have get the accumulator for that model for it to work>
