:? Not sure what all that means in York post, So! I was told that I could simply find an AC compressor from 4cyc and bolt up and maybe add ~2 gal tank for onboard air. any ideas on best fit and easy install?
Well, it's somewhat easier but there are still a lot of things that need to be plumbed and fitted. Since the non-a/c bracket is only $35 it would be better to go with a york. As the Brad once stated, you'll need to plumb a filter/seperator and an oiler to a sanden to keep it oiled properly. The YOrk has it's own crank case with a seperate oil res. Although you will get some oil in the lines still but you can use a seperator for that too.
YOu probably won't wnat a A/C unit from any small car. Some are too small to use. Most are Rotary style which means you'll need an oiler system unless you want to burn it out. It would need to be from a Jeep. Perferable a 2.5L or a 4.0L since they use the same compressor. Although like I mentioned above, you'd be better off with a York. If you have A/C already you'll need a bracket that will move the York to a new position and Kilby is the only place that sells those.
Keep in mind this won't be a cheap project. You'll probably be looking at $50-75 for the compressor. Then anywhere from $50-100 for all the small parts. ANd you'll still need to buy a tank. Then you've got to figure out how to mount it in the Jeep and route it. Don't forget about switches, pressure gauges, cut off switches, popoff valves, hoses, etc... There is a lot of small things that can nickle and dime you.
