Re: 71 Blue Jay

A/C system installed and cooling. A digital thermometer showed 28deg at one point in the air box. We will see how it works on the road once it stops raining here.

I did original brackets, except the bottom bracket, found one to work with the headers (Hedman 20110). Had to change out the heater hose inlet on the front of the water pump so the brackets would fit. A6 compressor 58098. I went with POA delete since my POA was full of dirt from being open to the environment for 45 years. R134A. New hoses from LMC. Only two original parts are the condenser and evaporator coils. I know, R134A doesn't like the old style condenser, I'll need to set up an electric fan in front of it to help with cooling it down faster. I may just get a cheap one and wire it with a on/off switch just below the A/C controls.

I also ordered some 20% tint and did the door windows to help with keeping the cab cool.

And a pic of inside the camper I built on the back. I'm sure I am forgetting something but I will just make another post about it when I remember.
