keep ac in v8 swap

bigndumb · 11-05-2009, 08:18 PM

I have a 92 s10 that I put a carberated 350 in and i was wondering if it is possible to retain the stock ac. I kept all the components when i pulled the 4.3 out. It looks like i might have to fab a mounting bracket for the compressor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The truck has a 72 350 in it with headers,mild cam,4 barrel,202 heads,bagged front,4 link rear,shaved doors,taillights,tail gate,bumper,quarter glass,fuel filler and rear glass.

well I know one of the problems could be over heating.

The mountings from the 4.3 should swap over & fit perfectly. You will loose the WOT compressor cut out but other than that, I don't see much.
