A/C pieced together

[grainboy]

I have located an evaporator for a cheap price. If I purchase a sanden compessor, new condenser, and drier, besides the low and high lines, is there anything else I need? It looks like the evap unit has the expansion valve built in. I could build it for half of what a vintage air costs.

Do you have the proper equipment to determine the correct refrigerant charge add to the pieced together system?

is there anything else I need?

Higher amp alternator

Bigger/more effcient radiator/cooling system

As Tim65GT wrote you absolutely need to upgrade the cooling system. However I think the alt isn't crucial. Mine operates on a 65A alt just fine.

Just make sure that the - compressor,evaporator/evap. fan, and condensor coil are matched. That is make sure that they are + - 5% BTU rating or you'll have problems.
Too small of an evaporator and/or fan - not enough cooling and/or compressor failure.
Too small of a condensor coil - high head pressure - compresor failure.
Too small of a compressor - not enough cooling.
Find out what cars all these parts come out of and then find the capacity of the compressor of each system.
Hope that helps.

Depending on your set up I have a sanden mounting plate that bolts right to the original drivers side spot for sale cheap. I can email pics if you needed.
