There's nothing particular in the AC system (except the vacuum pump for the outlets) that is unique in the PSDs. It works the same as in the rest of the Fords of the same vintage.

On mine there was a little spacer in there that I remove and brought it back into spec. I didn't have to do any shimming. Pretty easy to do if you follow Pop's directions.

Yep, you'll see it when you pull it off unless someone previously removed it. I guess shim or washer would be a better term for it.

Mine just had one. Depending on the thickness of the shim you remove you may need to shim it. Just follow Pop's directions and you should be good to go.
