a/c guys
how the mother do you get the hoses back into the car? I am trying to get the hoses/compressor back in so i can have a/c in my car again and i cant get the hoses back in, specifically the metal part that goes behind the compressor, there is a bracket that the compressor rests against and i cant get the hose on the other side of it. ANyone have any tips?

I had to remove the compressor, run the lines, then reinstall the compressor. The bend on that hose will not allow for it to be installed any other way. I spent 3 hours trying to fight it . It took about 30 minutes to remove the compressor and install it.

I had my header off on the passenger side. Not sure if it helped that much. I was surprised how easily the line went in AFTER I removed the compressor. I just laid it in the spot it was going to and lowered the compressor on top. Bolted up.
Have you removed the alt? You need to get as much out of the way. Not sure if messing with the sway bar will help. I did not.

okay, got it all back in last night, dropped the sway bar and took out the rear bracket and it slide right in, hopefully this new compressor will do the trick, my next thing i need to do is replace some of the vacuum line that broke off, shouldnt be too hard though. Just have to finish that and my double din stereo install and i will be set for some summer cruising.
