AC guinea pig...

You should make a parts list with prices. Instead of 10 pages to "sift" through, have a single post of the parts and cost of what you did.
I kind of went over that and post 198. I even mentioned you in post 229...
I mentioned besides the obvious bracket for the compressor and Freon there was only another maybe $15 and stuff you would need beyond the 465 for the kit that I bought. of course I did custom things and had some custom fittings made so it was a few dollars more..
The kit is very complete... the extra $15 would be maybe a couple of nuts and bolts for the dryer bracket and some of those radiator zip ties to hold the condenser and fan on...
I could have almost.endless how to threads..
