Need help with a/c ?????
Need help with a/c ????? I am going to run a 6.0l in a 71 chevelle. I would like to know what needs to be done to make the A/C work. I do not have the $$$$ to put in a complete vintage air system anytime soon. Can you guys help me out on a budget friendly way to use as much of the stock parts on the car and motor as possible.
If their is link that I may have missed please direct me to them thank you.

Does your chevelle have factory AC ?
I was able to get my Stock Chevelle system to work by just using the LS1 AC compressor... it does have a few set back due to the variable compressor. but that can be fixed or as I do. just live it it. I just sub the LS1 compressor, wire it up and re-did my AC lines.

I went with the vintage air. But there's a guy on corvetteforum (Superpowers) that sells the old style GM compressor mount. I have not hooked up the AC enable or compressor disable from the computer to the AC system, I figured I would see how it worked without it first.
Does it work with the stock controls? or what are you using . How do you wire it, and pics please if you have any. As you can see I am looking to paint my car black and living in socal a/c for the family is the only way to go.

I used a truck compressor on mine, then I had lines made to hook to the factory El Camino a/c.
For the electrical side its a hybrid, the El Camino system controls 90% of it, but I did leave a hookup to the LSx computer so that it knows when the AC is on and can raise the idle etc.
What year/bodystyle haress/pcm are you using, I`ll let you know how to hook it up.
