AC underhood component upgrade.
I just picked up the underhood AC components from an 85 Dodge pick up and am going to install them in my 74 Duster. The car has all the in cab components from factory but when I bought it no underhood parts were there.
The condenser from the truck looks like it will fit in front of the stock 26" rad no problem. I will definitely have to modify my compressor bracket or pick up a different intake because I'm pretty sure there won't be room. I'm confident that I'll have to get the hoses modified because of length but I'll see after I get stuff installed.
My big question is, am I going to have trouble finding hose ends to connect to the factory evaporator? The truck hoses have a flat plate with both hoses connected to it that connect with 1 bolt in the center and the evaporator has 1 male and 1 female threaded connection.
Has anyone done this?
