Yes mine is dealer added.

The truck is a 1980, but the AC was installed in 1983...go figure.

 

You can barely see the original AC bracket in this picture....Also the pulley and oddly, the mounting bracket (coming from the rear) that works for my current compressor.

 

Does the following help at all?

 

I just dont understand those spacers (in the above pic), the bracket spacers would only push the compressor out farther, thus missing any pulleys that may line up...

 

A dealer is going to do whatever is necessary to get the job done the fastest and get the customer's money.

Even though Ford had kits for adding AC to various vehicles & engines, that doesn't mean a dealer always used all the parts in those kits or didn't mix-n-match components as they found necessary to do.

It looks to me like the AC compressor belt is intended to fit onto the outermost pulley. If you have all of the basic parts, and you're sure you've got the correct compressor, then perhaps some ingenuity & engineering on your part is in order to adapt things so that they work?

 

That looks wrong to me.... the smog pump (located above the alternator) is supposed to connect to the alternator below it.

In the middle picture, you can see that the alternator has a double-wide pulley; the inner is for the the connection to the water pump (or crankshaft or wherever it connects to the engine) and the outer is supposed to be driving the smog pump.

You can see the correct configuration in those diagrams I've been posting.

It looks like you have the smog pump connected to the AC compressor's pulley.

 

Notice the three spacers/shims that go between the PS pump and bracket? There's what seems to be missing. Those should move the pump back far enough to use the center groove on the balancer/pully, which will then free up the front one for the A/C belt.......

 

10 chars or more

 

Look right above the circled area, where the F100-350 (well, it says F4100-350) pump is. There's 3 spacers shown to go between the pump and bracket, that are marked with * to indicate they are included in 19B696 - KIT.

 

Thats what I thought too. Though, the outermost waterpump pulley is smaller (depth wise) to match the smaller belt type and matches the pulley on the smog pump as well. The belt size needed for the AC compressor will not work on the outermost pulley.

 

So I have been doing my research on the original compressor on this dealer installed system. Looks like it originally had a Sanden 709 compressor found in 1989 Saab's

The stuff mounts up just right!



Just search york, sanden conversion: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/tags/sanden.html

 

 

I want to say that Ryan has the big square "york" compressor on his rig. The round body FS6 is more common with the factory installed setups. However, the Sanden compressor is more common on dealer and aftermarket setups. It gets kind of toasty here in AZ without air. It's 113* right now!

 

Yep, I think the Sanden was the original compressor on my setup.

 

i have a 1980 custom 100 with a 4.9 need find out if someone nows where to get ac bracket for it ,i try all the junk jard around where i live ,debary fl 32713and had no luck .thanks
