Default Dropping body back on question

I will be putting the body back on in the next week, I have put the a/c evap box back on along with the blower motor . I was wondering if I should put the acumulator on also or if it will be in the way of getting the front body bolt in. It would be easier to do the acumulator now but I don't want to create problems mounting the body. It has been a few years since I took it off and I don't remember how tight it was.

Thanks,
Randy

was the accumulator on the car when you pulled the body off?

when I pulled the body off my '81, the accumulator was still on the car and never caused a single issue, I don't anticipate it causing any going back on either, WE'LL SEE ???????

It's easier to get to now. They were already installed at the time of body drop at the factory.
