My 97 Z's LT1 to LSX conversion is getting close to completion. I want to still have working A/C on the car.
I have a LS1 compressor. But everything else is from my LT1.
What do I need to get, and or modify to get the A/C working?
Thanks,
Rob

you don't need anything.. the factory LT1 compressor connection can be tweeked to the LS1 compressor and bolted right up.

I used the LS compressor and made hybrid lines. I grafted my lt1 hose ends onto a set of ls1 hose parts. I had to cut up both sets to accomplish this. I then took the parts to my local NAPA and had them assemble it. Now I was initially told that it was against policy (NAPA'S) to modify old hoses like this. But I knew the manager and he did it for me himself.

Alternatively you could also use the LT1 hoses by bending them slightly and making 1" spacers for your front sway bar, for clearance. This was done by a board member here. I'll try to find his swap post.
