bratman18 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 They look like air conditioner hoses to me. And if they don't bolt on to the new motor than you might have to pull the pump off of your old motor and use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroadsubie1 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I thought about that and i looked at it and my old motor is a carbed motor and i am pretty sure it isnt the same pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The compressors are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well you could probably buy an new one at the dealer maybe or go searching in the junkyards? Or just don't hook it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) You'll either need to swap the old compressor over (make sure the mounts are at least the same before you take it all apart). Or, find an AC shop and see if they can make some custom hoses. Since you'll need to refill the system, and can't use R12 anymore, you'll also need to find an R134A retrofit kit to do it. Or, you can just leave it all unhooked and not have AC. Edit: If you do leave it unhooked, be sure to disconnect the wires to the compressor. If it turns on, it will fry the compressor in short order. -Dave Edited December 4, 2008 by hooziewhatsit add stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
