i'm still figuring out how i'll make the A/C work though. i'll probably build a bracket and use the chrysler compressor. i may have to run a manual switch to the compressor clutch since the PCM wont be receiving any engine signals.

Depends on how you wire it up and what Signals the factory Jeep PCM will need.

i may be able to use the chrysler sensors in the LS1 and use EFI live to allow the GM PCM to read the chrysler signal and make both computers happy as far as inputs.

Or, use the GM compressor with the Gm Computer... all the controll unit is doing is engageing the compressor clutch. Usually applying power or ground to the clutch.

Would probally need to have some custom made lines though to use the GM compressor so the bracket maybe the easyer route

i actually thought about that, but it's oddly shaped compared to the jeep's cluster. lol plus i like the way the MCX auto meter gauges look.

how do you program the odometer on an autometer speedometer?
