'77 A/C Compressor Conversion
I have the engine and all accessories from a '91 C4 now installed in my '77 C3. I would like to use the Denso A/C compressor that is on the L98 engine with my existing '77 A/C system. I have all of the '77 components except for the original compressor and some of the lines. I have installed a new condenser in front of the new aluminum radiator. Can anyone tell me what I need to do as far as lines, fittings, etc. to make the connections? And is the Denso compressor compatible with the original equipment?

They have adapters, I think most people use sanden compressors

Thanks! They look like they have everything I need. The GM Denso compressor is very well rated in my book C3 Corvette How to Build and Modify, so I think I will stick with it. It mounts differently then do the Sanden also.
