Replacing stock A/C compressor with a Sanden A/C Compressor

I was going to go with a vintage air setup but seeing I have a new Sanden compressor and mounting bracket I was wondering if anyone have done this? thanks Rick

I have not, but that has to be a very common swap. The Sanden compressor is much more efficient than an A6. Why do you ask?

Re: Replacing stock A/C compressor with a Sanden A/C Compressor

I have a Sanden compressor and Vintage Air condenser on my truck, which is otherwise all factory air. It works just fine. I converted to R134a, which meant adjusting the POA valve and new refrigerant hoses too.
