Thanks for the offer. I did manage to get the entire A/C system installed, and it cooled wonderfully, and the installation was clean and neat. Unfortunately, I encountered 3 issues that I finally considered insurmountable, and ultimately (and reluctantly) wound up removing the whole system.
Problems:
1) The compressor, which I mounted via head bolts, and supported the mount plate via additionaly supports underneath down to the bottom of the block.. the weight just turned out to be too much for the little engine, and I encountered an ugly harmonic vibration at certain rpms, even when the compressor wasn't active.
2) With evaporator and fan in front of the radiator, the engine was running at the very top of the green temp. range, even on mild high-70's days.
3) the HP required by the compressor definitely loaded up the engine. While it could marginally handle it, performance degradation was significant.
another $1,000 venture down the drain!
