Can anyone point me towards some info on this? Is this a real option? I've read some about putting a York compressor on there, but then I was told that my existing AC compressor could do the same thing. Possible? Is there a write-up somewhere, parts list, etc??? Thanks ('88 RRC 3.5 EFI) | ||

Depending on how you look at this it can be considered easy or difficult. From http://www.coloradok5.com/york.shtml there is this. Why a York? The compressors found on most vehicles with A/C are lubricated internally, by the freon in the system. For pumping air, you would have to have an external oiler to keep the compressor lubricated, and a filter to remove the oil from the output of the compressor. With a York, this is not necessary. It has it's own internal reservoir for oil, making it a much better choice for pumping air. However, there are many variables when considering which style of York to use. There are three different displacements or strokes available, as well as many different types of hose connections. Land Rover Unlimited has done this you might give them a call. http://www.landroverunlimited.com/ | ||

yes, ECR did it for a customer on one of their RR projects. go here http://www.eastcoastrover.com/98.html and scroll down the project page. not sure how effective it is, yet, it can be accomplished. Jaime  | ||

Go to http://community.webshots.com/album/33270040fxdHOZ for more info. Yorks are wonderful compressors but it's a tad large for the engine bay. I'll be installing the York in my FZJ80. Sandens are a drop in for the most part and require very little space. Ali '91RRC |
