I'm about to do 2 repairs to my 91 2.3L N/A, the A/C lines (under the hood) and the heater core. I want to, in the near future, do a turbo swap. I live in Houston Texas, haveing no A/C isn't very fun. When I do the turbo swap, will the A/C lines and/or the heater core have to be changed or will these work with the turbo motor?

Before the A/C stopped working, I noticed a powerloss when the A/C was on. About every 3 seconds it would seem to have a power loss for about 2 seconds and repeat. What is causeing this and would this still happen after the turbo swap?

They will both work with the turbo motor. Not a problem there.

The power loss was the ac compressor kicking on/off/on/off. It was probably low on coolant.

im not stinger, but thats some BS, i have a flow on my car and it isnt very loud at all. It was actually louder in N/A form then it is turboed. Your cops are picky.
