Replacing AC components & Bolt size
Hi all,
Well my girl is almost ready t go.... I am about to finish hooking things up and try to start her this week....after the Hurricane blows through.... But I am now getting to things that aren't critical but will be needed. The truck is setup for AC, and the Bracket is on the engine already (4.9L I300 6), BUT I bought it without the AC Compressor. I want to put it on and hook it up, but if memory serves me in the 80s it was R12, and now I believe it is R34....
Will an original AC Compressor work, or is there an upgrade? Likewise, the Dryer, and Lines will be replaced, Original or Upgrade?
And oh yes, The engine was replaced before I bought it so that is why it didn't have the AC compresser remounted.... it takes 4 bolts. Does anyone know what size and where I could get them.... FORD will probably charge me an Arm & Leg for them... Thanks for any help...
