few updates.
made my own dd set up the finished product
finished it up in about two days..
and i picked up a few ls1 ac parts
4th gen evap and 3rd gen heater box .
4th gen front section and 3rd gen rear section of the heater box
at last a lot of tweaking with the low pressure line do to the radiator i am using.
a lot of wiring, sodering , added a relay and the ac refrigerant switch
i wanted to make sure the compressor and all the 4th gen ducting was working so i went ahead and added some freon and oil to experiment with.
its fully functional blows cold air but not as cold as it should be.
now i have to take it to a ac expert to check the system either release the freon use the vaccum fill it up with better freon. i might end up replacing the drier as well
a lot of time was spent on this. research. but alot of people helped me out

Thanks for the reply. I would have thought it would just be plug and play with the ac since i am using all of the 4th gen stuff. If you dont mind can I pm you my number or vice versa so to see if I can better understand the process. Thanks
......serious!
