Quick A/C Question! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Now i have a 89 coupe with complete A/C system and planing on swapping in a redtop SR. I did some research and I know I can grab a DOHC compressor and the adaptor bracket to line up the drive belt on the SR, but my question is will my SOHC lines bolt on the DOHC compressor? I searched the internet and couldn't get a strait answer, I dont mind bending the lines a little to make it work. and will I have to splice a DE plug on the SR harness for the compressor?? Has anyone tried this?? plzz let me know!!!

thnx

Lines will not fit from a SOHC to DOHC compressor you need custom lines made.

I have a/c on my 89 coupe with a DOHC motor/compressor. Got SOHC lines welded to DOHC ends from them to bolt on to the compressor.

Ok so just chop the ends weld dual ones on and it lines up.. Got it! How did your wiring go, I assume u have SR?
