Im looking for a One and Done A/C compressor for my 01 Trans Am. Flipping through the forums, Ive seen where delphi or denso should do it. I could only find a V5 Delphi, but I found the one below on summit. (Don't recall if I'm allowed to post the summit link) Im questioning it because it only has 1 review and its 1 star stating -QUOTE-" Sadly, I cannot give this Compressor a true review because it does not fit the 5.7 LS Engine in the Z28 or the SS Camaro or the Trans-Am or the Formula."
Its the only Denso listed as compatible with 2001 T/A. Anyone have a good source? I have the dryer/orifice and condensor.

Applications for DNP-471-9140
Denso Air Conditioning Compressors for 1995-2002 CAMARO, FIREBIRD - 471-9140
Application Notes:
3.8L-3800CC-231CID-6-V (156); A/C Compressor w/ Clutch - New; OE recommended replacement part. OE-specified Oil included.

 

Try comparing a 6-cyl vs a V8 one on rockauto or something. I think you'll find that they're COMPLETELY different.

A truck one might work butt I seriously doubt it. Pretty sure the bolt pattern is different. Maybe you could get a truck bracket and then it would work, butt I doubt even that, given the belt situation.

 

V6 and V8 used different compressors and the correct one for a V8 car would have these numbers 1137028, 1137014, or 89018889. The part no. for the AC Delco was 15-20730

Do you still have the original compressor? You do know they can be rebuilt right?

 

Great! Thenks for the feeback. Yes, I still have it, guess I didn't consider getting it rebuilt or even know where to start to have it done. Its still on the car and functions but its making some pretty rad noise. The cars been parked for over a year waiting for upgrades. Is it common for a local shop to rebuild them or something that needs shipped off?

 

IDK, took that venture on myself. Go to RockAuto.com and look up the year make and model of the vehicle and go to Heating and Air Conditioning. From there you can find the parts to rebuild the A/C compressor but if there's internal damage then it's toast!

 

July of 2021 I did mine with a Delphi DFP-C-S1034. It was a fully oil charged compressor. Doesn't look available at Summit where I bought it from. My system worked when I replaced the OEM, it just leaked oil badly from the compressor. I took the easy road since the car only had 50K on it and its been fine since.

Kept the original thinking one day I'd rebuild it.
