2001 Ford E450 transit bus AC question.

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a 25 passenger champion Ford E450
6.8L super duty
Vin#: 1FDXE45S81HB06003
It has a transcold rear AC unit: model EM-1 serial#: 01-060189 has two ac compressors. One located on top on the engine is for the front cabin area. The rear unit ac compressor is located on the passenger bottom of engine ( it's missing from the bus) the drive belt is part#:AT 25-081213. Previous owner removed the bottom ac compressor. I need to replace it. I have contacted champion and a few other places that sell replacement parts for Champion conversions. I haven't had any luck with them in the past 1.5 weeks. I was curious if anyone could help me out with a part number for this bus? Any information is greatly appreciated.

If its a Transcold unit I'd contact them before the converter or upfitter.

They were contacted also. It's been over two weeks. I've followed up with everyone I have contacted and still no luck. Im doing my own research and reaching out to others on this forum in hopes of finding some information here.

Your next contact would be a local or somewhat close-by limo, bus or RV service facility who specializes in servicing these types of systems. Here in Columbus I know of at least one refrigerated big truck trailer company whose main brand support is Carrier but they're capable of working on most any brand in most any vehicle.

Searching locally for big truck refrigeration upfitters might yield more useful info.

I'm curious if you found a source for this compressor, and if it was some kind of proprietary compressor or a cleverly mounted mainstream unit.
