Anyone ever had custom AC lines or sohc compressor bracket made? Looking for a litte more info on this, swapping dohc into sohc shell. It's not a must, but AC might be nice on a hot Texas day.

Plenty of people make custom lines. Ever since people started to put A/C in hot rods back in the 50s. Cut/weld the lines, with a 240SX it's easy if you have both of them to work from.

Cool, hadn't though of that. Would be much easier, and I have both sets lines.

Or you could just go with a portion of braided AN line to make it easy to move your compressor about anywhere on that side of the block. Just cut line and flare on each end with a tube nut and sleeve. Add in teflon AN line with AN unions on each end.

Or the usual cut and weld works too.
