Looking for A/C pics

Hey all, I'm trying to find pics of "correct" air conditioning component setup, STV/ Evap core area of ''65. Anybody with pics?, sure appreciated.

Thanks for the response tentuna. The car came to me with no underhood a/c components other than the evap. core housing, and the fittings had all been hacked off the evap.core. While the engine is out, I've replaced evap. core, but want to make sure the fittings are exiting the housing correctly before the engine goes back in. I was hoping that somebody'd have pics in an online album that might show the area. If you don't mind the trouble of trying to snap a couple pics of that area, it sure can't hurt

Thanks in advance for any help. Steve

How are these for a start? First one is John Z's engine compartment, next two are mine, last is an unknown of a latch that happens to show the STV.

The switch that is mounted to the evap. box just below the black cork wrapping in 3rd picture is not "correct". But it is a good idea to have It should be wired as a low temp. cut out. If the returning refrigerant to the comp. is too cold it will kill power to the comp. clutch. Saving the comp. from posiable damage due to liquid refrigerant. You can not compress liquid. I say its not correct and I am basing this on 1965 to the best of my knowledge.

You are correct, my STV has been gutted and the switch controls the compressor.

Thanks for the replies, guys. My car came to me with nothing underhood for a/c components ripped out

except the evap. core box. the fittings had all been hacked off the evap.core. Does anyone have a shot showing the fittings (particularly the small1/8 hard line) exiting the housing??...as installed( hopefully correctly) mine exits the evap. housing by the smaller diam(high side?) fitting, then sticks straight up in the air, ending up against the larger diam(low side?) fitting...is this correct??, I hope to find out before engine goes in tomorrow, if possible
