All right. Got my new LS1 compressor installed. As I was taking my old one out, I realized that I had swapped the adapter fitting that mounts to the back of the compressor. So, that I piped the suction and discharge ports backwards!!!!! Well needless to say that is why it didnt' work. I put the newer compressor in anyway because it is a lot of work to get it out of my car. But, all is well that ends well. And I charged up my system and it blows ice-cold air. It was only 79 degrees yesterday so can't say how good it would be at 95. I didn't measure the outlet temps but my hand said it is damn cold. SO, swappers with a Vintage Air unit fear not. The LS1 compressor is good. Actually, some AC experts have told me that it is an optimum setup having a thermal expansion valve with a variable displacement pump. ALL in ALL, this was the only mistake I made with this swap, so I have to pat myself on the back. Summer is over and now it is time to start thinking about more power for my winter projects.

I used the 2002 Camaro compressor that came with my engine and made custom hoses for my truck to hook it to the existing factory system.
