Truck ac compressor in older truck
Truck ac compressor in older truck I'm doing a swap into a 79 f150 all is done except ac hoses. Called n talked to a company and he said the fixed compressor will not work with the expansion valve acover system the truck has. Has anyone had first hand experience with this?

He's wrong for the most part. All the Denso truck compressors that have come on GM trucks have been fixed displacement, although that maybe has changed over the last few year models.
Thought so. I researched it few months ago, but now I'm doing it having to read clarify.
Any tips on removing ac hoses from evap?
This hose I need to make longer went to drivers side top n now I need it to go to lower passenger side. Tried heat, lube and cheater Pipes thing is tight. Don't wanna damage evaporator

I'm using the Denso 10S20F (I think that's the right part # - prompted edit by 67skylark below.) with vintage Air. Mine was stock on L92 and in a Denali, which had front and rear air.
My system works great.
I know it is a fixed displacement compressor (F in the model # stands for fixed). I've heard even the variable ones will work, but they would be run as fixed. I can't say I have first - hand knowledge of that, however.
Hope that helps.

Did you get your AC up and running? If so how is it working? I am knee deep in restoring a 1936 Chevy coupe with a transplant L59 engine. I was told the exact same thing by VA that "variable compressors" won't work and this is after I told them I had a factory Denso 10S20F on my 5.3l from a 2004 Tahoe. Today, from this thread(searched all day for this problem), I find out it's a fixed displacement..wow. I almost popped on a new Sanden and bracket kit. I will put in a new Denso 10S20F just to have a new compressor for this build as it is tight and down low and don't wish to change it out anytime soon after I'm done with this build. My ECU has been reworked and all AC removed. I am using all VA components as a stand alone system, except their comp. and condenser. Glad I found this thread, Thanks! ya just gotta love Ls1tech. On the lighter side I am in Keller, just outside Ftw
