Ugly? Well, ya... But then, what AC compressor is "pretty"? Once I get mine installed, the only people that would even think it's "cool" are the ones that know what a York is and why I'm even using it. Everyone else will probably wonder why a big ugly box with a pully is there...

Re: Which engine driven kit?
but you got to ask your self is it necessary? Do you really want to beat your custom that you have so much invested in I'm only in my early 30's and am over the whole drag it fad. Run a single or dual 5 gal 1/4" or 3/8" valves and line and call it a day... roll it low park it flat and enjoy a trouble free sweet ride my viairs lasted me over 8 years

Re: Which engine driven kit?
Its true that Viairs last a long time. I have a 450c on my 51 that is under the floor that I use as a backup. Its been there 5 years and has gotten VERY wet and still works great. I just hate listening to it, and would rather have an EDC fill in 30 seconds what would take the viair 5-10 minutes to fill. Plus you dont have to worry about an EDC killing your battery. Even though the engine has to be running to fill...

Re: Which engine driven kit?
Did you "plug the peehole"? You need to take the bottom off and plug the hole that would be used to oil an AC system. Simply tap it out and put a screw in it. That keeps the oil in the crankcase of the compressor and not all thru your system.
