Looks good. I think what keeps a lot of people from doing the A518 conversion is the amount of work that needs to be done on the tunnel for it to fit. That and a lot want the originality. But since mine was beyond the stage of a restoration, and not rare on any front, it was a prime candidate for the mod. May I ask, what A/C compressor are you using? The one I have must be an oddball and no one carries a replacement for it for under 500 dollars. So, needless to say, my A/C is on hold for a while!

Hi Larry
Its a 95 and newer type, and uses a different mounting bracket. (I think the 4 bolts are closer together on yours) I think they use the same pullys though.
I have a junk 5.2 from a 93 van that has a pump that looks like yours.

I went down to a local "pull-a-part" and took the compresser off a sealed system for 60.00.

I did a NAPA search and it seems from 93 to 95 they were different depending on 5.2 or 5.9 and truck or van .
Mine is 215.00 rebuilt thru NAPA.

Was alotta work, but it was worth it to me.
