Topic: need help beatin the heat, compressor issue

[DFWFO]

I have an 85 with the 22re, I just replaced the blower motor, heater core, all the cables and the bezel, all sealed for the most part now. But now im tryin to get my a/c comp in, I DO have a compressor from a 91 22re but the mounting bracket from an 86(?)

I mocked it up and doesnt look like the pulleys line up, off bout an inch. I am a complete idiot sometimes so i could be wrong.

Would a 91 be r134a? or r12?
Should the pulleys line up? or should i just find a mount for a 91?

And i live in tx, so i do need a/c for the summer, shes my dd

Do you have any pictures? My guess is that you need the mount from a 91, however if the compressor fits in the mount you have the pulley configuration on your crank may have to be changed.  Are you putting AC into a truck that didnt have it?

windows down drive fast lol no... ull need a 91 to 94 bracket i think 90 may  work but the part numbers are diff so idk

[DFWFO [OP]]

Ill post up pics in a min,..... What part number you referring to? comp?

[yotaneck13]

Anybody have any pics of an early model 22re compressor??

[86rustbucket]

i dont have a pic but it looks like your pulley sticks out more than on my 86,


how far is it from the pulley to that bootom bolt head

[DFWFO [OP]]

If this is what you were askin....


I think the comp is just bigger on the newer 22re

[86rustbucket]

ya my 86 pump is like an inch and a half from the bolt to the pulley

[79coyotefrg]

the question is, does the pulley on the compressor line up with the pulley on the crank or does the idler pulley??  and btw  that idler pulley adjuster bolt needs to be replaced.

that idler will NOT work with that compressor

Good point

and btw  that idler pulley adjuster bolt needs to be replaced.

Why do you say that?

[DFWFO [OP]]

So id be stupid to use the 91 comp? I need to just find a comp from an 85-89? Damn.... I got that 91 for $40

Im going to the junkyard to see what i can find.

[DFWFO [OP]]

For $80 i just picked up an 86 comp with bracket/pulley, it was still charged when i pulled it off, so thats a good sign

i hope you plugged the ends to keep crap out

i hope you plugged the ends to keep crap out

Tried that with my girlfriend. Things got messy.

I hope i did too, what ends you talking about?  Just replaced all the a/c component in the dash, the lines were capped from previously owner
