The AC system consists of many parts that are located under the hood, exactly what part are you referring to?

I’m getting ready to rebuild the A/C in my ‘77 with almost all new components. I’m going to take lots of pictures and do a thread on it if you’re interested in following along.

Curious. What's the purpose of the "wad of putty over that thermocouple"?

my old putty crumbled away when i replaced heater hoses and heater core..so weird how the vacuum shut off valve just hangs in the air..so my guess is
- insulation so it reads whats on pipe not effected by engine compartment temperatures..
- vibration
- keeps the stupid vacuum shut off from tearing it up..
i used some electrical amazon dope for exterior head gap filler..
this stuff
