    That's the question..any of you guys ever try to set up A/C with a stock 170?
    I'm worried about the power loss....and the money that will be spent for something that just won't work well.

    Ive parted out several so called factory a/c models with 170 motor. All were actually dealer or aftermarket installed. Never had one that operated though.

    The compressor mount (using a Sanden compressor) is easier to find for the small six! Took me a while to find one for our 240.

    (note to Casimier: I was out of town last week and forgot all about the measuring the door thingies! I'm heading out to do that now)

    Hey Carl
    Just a note..I found one of those clips in my van toolbox...
    probably from one of my earliers...
    I'm gonna mold it out and make a fiberglass clip...
    Should be ready in a couple of weeks.
    What color you want?
    Gonna have a lot of questions for you when I drop the A/C in my 240 auto.
