Options to connect new AC Compressor
During my big block swap (350 to 402), I bought a new AC compressor but found the connections are not compatible. I took it to a mechanic who said it'd be at least $500 to get it hooked up. I'm looking for a solution to get AC hooked up and working again in my truck, preferably using the new compressor.
The old working compressor when the small block was in: The new compressor I bought: https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...0602/overview/ Admittedly, I bought this compressor because it fit with the big block accessory brackets I bought, not thinking it'd be tough to connect it with the AC hoses after. That was a bit of ignorance on my part. In the truck now, with the apparently incompatible connectors. Appreciate any input on options to get the AC hooked up again. The old compressor does not appear that it will fit on the new big block accessory bracket, in fact it's so heavy a second support is required at the back of the old compressor which used to attach to a bolt on the 350 intake manifold.
