Currently we have the AC working, but with issues. I think with the compressor laying on its side for a couple months, that the refrigerant oil found its way to the reciever dryer....So we are going to change that out and recharge it.

We still have the cruise control to complete. I tell ya, its awesome to drive!

 

That is awesome. I have a 95 Z71 that needs a new motor.

 

We put a nasty tune in it tonight! Dad was thrilled! Shifts nice, performs well. Runs like a champ!

issues yet to tackle..

Gear indicater
Cruise Control
Tach signal located
POSI rear installed! to mush power to balding 27's with an open diff!

The end is very near!

 

WOW....nice project!

 

Thanks man, we're proud of it!

 

very good work man!

 

how u do ac. got 93 with 04 5.3 but stumped on ac just laying to side?

 

so how did you get the AC working? im doing this swap on my 99 and the supercharger is in the way of the top mount AC bracket so im not sure how to use the stock compressor. thanks!

 

The AC is mounted with the TBI 350 bracket and semi functional. I think the oriface tube is plugged up. It worked great one day and got COLD! but then the next day all it would do is build pressure and kick on and off.....so leads me to believe blockage. I am having my dad swap me trucks today, and I plan to dive in to his AC system and see what is going on.

 

great im still wondering if it is possible to get ac in my truck with a lower mounted compressor, i may end up having to build a bracket
