Air Conditioner Bracket Removal
#16
Well she is running & no leaks. The lift pump is a low pressure we have 40 psi in the system to the bowl. Just put some covers over the rubber lines where they touch the block and she is good to go.
I will prolly get the hard lines some day when I have a spare min. Just did not want to wait for shipping. She is pulling out of the shop today.
But I was happy to help out find the other ones for the next guy.
Time for an oil change and test drive.

do you need a pulley puller to remove the vacuum pump?
The air compressor itself is mounted on a pedistall with (4) long bolts, IIRC its a 12mm. Once you disconnect the four bolts, unplug the AC compressor and serp belt, you can lift the compressor and set it to the side or on top of the engine. The bracket has 3 bolts that are 14mm i believe. Anyways, you will also need to disconnect the vaccume pump, but you can leave it attached to the bracket, so you dont have to fuss with it. You should have acess to the fuel lines there.
Heres a close up after the bracket is removed so you can see where about the bolts that hold the bracket on are at..

HI Austin, Welcome to FTE.
That's the drivers side head fuel return line and goes to the fuel pressure regulator. There is another one on the front passengers side head, kinda hard to see. Fuel is pressurized by the fuel pump in the valley and goes to the rear of the heads. Whats not used by the injectors is returned on those front ports to the regulator then back to the tanks. Not a lot of pressure, 50 - 60 psi.
