BENEFITS/FEATURES:

• Eliminates shaft seal leak problems associated with the stock compressor.

• Reduce horsepower draw.
• Reduce weight.
• Continuous duty rating of 6,000 RPM.

NOTE 1:

* Hoses supplied with one end open, along with the corresponding fitting and crimping instructions. Your local a/c shop can provide crimping services, or we can provide the crimping service for an additional fee. Instructions for both options will be included.

** Replacement accumulators are approximately 1" shorter than original, which may affect mounting clamp. We can also rebuild your original accumulator.

NOTE 2:

Stock non-a/c Olds engines will have the alternator on the right-hand side of the engine, preventing the installation of the compressor. If your car has a non-a/c engine, the alternator will need to be relocated to the stock left-hand postion in order to install the compressor
