Step One: Installing the Evaporator unit

1)

An under dash a/c unit mounts under the dash in the area of your choice. If you have gauges, or a radio under the dash they must be relocated. If the vehicle is a stick shift make sure the unit clears the shifter prior to installation.

2)

After a location has been selected attach the included "L" brackets to the evaporator unit. Hold the unit up to the bottom of the dash and mark the holes on the bottom of the dash where the "L" brackets will screw to. Unbolt the "L" brackets from the unit and mount the brackets to the dashboard.

3)

If the expansion valve is not attached to the unit, you must attach it at this point.

4)

The expansion valve will mount to the smaller tube on the evaporator unit. If the valve is already attached disregard this step.

5)

The expansion valve will require a # 8 O-ring when connecting it to the evaporator. The bulb on the valve will attach to the large tube on the evaporator, see pictures for details. There will be a "C" clip in the package to attach the bulb.

6)

After the expansion valve bulb and "C" clip are attached place some black insulation tape over the tubes and expansion valve. Do not cover the threads or hex area of the tube. More tape will be needed later to cover all the connections and fittings.

7)

After the unit is ready to install, and the a/c hoses are attached (step six) the unit can be mounted for the final time. Be sure to cover the fittings with the extra black insulating tape after the hoses are attached.

8)

Prior to installing the a/c lines find a location in the firewall to run the hoses through. Select according to which side of the unit the fittings are on and which side of the engine the compressor is on. Be sure to use the grommets to protect the hoses when running them through the firewall. The grommets will require a 1-1/4" hole, unless it is a large single grommet for both hoses.

9)

The drains need to be run through the floorboard, the hole for the drain tube should be ¾". Run both drains through the floor; if you wish to run a single drain tube through the floor, we sell drain tees and elbows.
