79BrucetheBrat Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I am working on a 79 Brat and I just wanted to know where the ac compressor should be mounted. I also think the fan and core were taken out. Where do they go? Would it be possible to buy one that isn't outrageously expensive? I don't have a great deal of experience in this area so any help would be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 The condenser core will mount in front of the radiator. In addition to the engine driven fan, there should be an electric fan mounted on the passenger side of the radiator. It has been a LONG time since I've been in any brat at all, so I'm not positive on the placement of the evaporator core. But, if I recall correctly, it should go inside the air box with the heater core. As far as the compressor, I've seen them mounted in a couple of places. They're always on top, of course, but I've seen them dead center above the crank, to the right of the alternator and even all the way out to the driver's side of the engine on some funky looking brackets. Essentially, mount it wherever you feel you can make it fit properly. This is going to be a bit spendy. It just isn't worth the money to buy used A/C parts. Buy new parts. It saves a lot of heartache. You'll need to have new hoses made as it is unlikely that any A/C hoses already in the car are particularly useful.
