Adding factory AC to my non-AC 1970 truck
I scored a fairly complete working system (minus condensor, compressor brackets, hoses, and controls). But boxes, cables, evaporator, heater core, ducts, even a good AC glovebox.
I can get the parts missing locally unless someone has some they want to part with. Bonus is my truck already has an AC dash and I can do all the work myself. Any gurus that have done this have any advice? I figured ill pressurize the EVAP core and check for leaks and replace the heater core just to prevent needing to later, along with a new receiver drier. How do I need to modify my firewall? Are there upgrades to the POA valve or oriface tube that I should do to bring it up to modern technology? I have R-134 at my disposal but freeze 12 I can get too (and have gauges for both). Anything else?
