4. If you have a 304 / 360 engine you will not need any additional pulleys. The
original setup used two belts on the compressor. The new compressor does not
require that kind of tension. One belt will run the alternator; the other belt will
run the compressor.
Connecting the Hoses
1. The hoses on this kit are not pre-made.
2. The smallest hoses are # 6, the 13/32" hose is # 8, and the large hose ½" is # 10.
The number 10 hose will run from the compressor to the evaporator. The number
eight hose will go from the compressor to the condenser. The number six hose
will go from the condenser to the drier, and the second hose will go from the drier
to the evaporator. BE SURE TO PUT O-RINGS ON ALL CONNECTIONS.
3. The hose ends crimped to the hose. Any major a/c store, and some parts stores can
do this, it requires a hose-crimping tool.
4. The hoses can be measured w/o crimping the fittings. When all the hoses are cut
to length with the correct fittings attached, crimp the lines. On the large hose that
runs through the firewall, install the grommet onto the hose prior to crimping the
lines.
5. Be sure to install the o-rings on all the fittings, oil is not necessary on the o-rings.
