Swapping A/C.

I've got a spare 82 F-150 300 with factory air, and i plan on swapping it onto my truck later this summer.

Aside from getting it recharged and the seals replaced, what will i have to do, to make it work on my truck?

My current Daily Driver, is also an 82 F-150, 300 six, that originally had factory air.

I'm assuming i'll need to swap the heater box out, and add all the parts i'm missing?

Any help is appreciated.

Question Swapping A/C.

If they BOTH had factory air, why would you need to swap anything?

Swapping A/C.

The reason for the swap is, my truck has had all of the factory air peices removed...it has a stock heat only heater box, the a/c core is removed and the compressor is long gone, along with the lines or anything else that i could use for the a/c system.

Now the other truck, has all of these parts, and they are in good shape... all it will need is a recharge of some 134 I'd assume.

Make sure you check out the wiring, vacuum, and control panel, too.
