Is there a walk-through or parts list of what I need to add air conditioning to my 4. Reactions: Dougj I wish there was, still not completely done with mine. Reactions: wmblore. If you Google 'JeepAir' there's some instructions on there but not the complete instructions.
IIRC I think jeepins installed a. I unpacked it, read the instructions very important, although they are very very vague and leave out a lot of very pertinent information.
What you get in the kit, is the compressor, which takes gaseous refrigerant, and compresses it, and sends it off to the condenser. You also get the condenser, which is responsible for taking the compressed gaseous refrigerant, and bleeding off its heat.
The condenser is basically a huge radiator that sits in front of your current radiator. They include all the bracketry to bolt it up very easily. They supply you with 2oz. You also get all the pressure hoses with proper fittings and correct lengths already made for you. You are also required to drill a couple of holes in the firewall to feed the refrigerant lines through. I may opt to have this installed by a professional when I take it to get the system evacuated and charged.
The first thing you will want to install is the compressor. You will first bolt the bracket to the mount using the four 8mm bolts with lock washers, then you will bolt the compressor to the bracket using the supplied larger bolts, nuts, and lock washers. Then, to mount the idler pulley, you must remove the alternator so you can get to a nut to remove a bolt and install it.
The alternator I believe uses 15mm sockets on the front, and the idler bolt is a 15mm bolt head and a smaller nut. I used a crescent wrench to hold the nut while I unbolted it.
Rebolt the alternator on, then loosen the power steering pump to change the belt out. In the picture here, you can see the correct routing of the new belt. Next, we start on the condenser. Taking the brackets supplied, bolt them on, and attach the upper and lower hoses. There are two ways to mount the condenser, the hard way requires that the radiator to be drained and removed so that the ability to drill and screw in the top brackets is easier for those without a wide selection of tools.
The easy way is to unbolt the radiator bracket with the two bolts on the cowl, and two lower radiator bolts. I have located the vents that line the bottom of the dash that contains some of the ac components. I'm not too familiar with ac work either but my brother is so he will help me. Any one have any ideas or knowledge on these old ac systems let me know! Parts involved with this add-on air conditioning are significant. I researched, and the 4-cylinder YJ models with 2. All of the parts would need to be taken from the donor vehicle and installed on your Jeep.
Your brother would agree that you might be better off finding a current aftermarket air conditioning system that does not involve a lot of under-dash parts and controls. Look up the additional parts needed for one of these kits.
The best approach would be finding a 2. When that's done, I would be very concerned about the performance of the Jeep under the constraints of air conditioning. Power steering is enough of a drain. You'll need additional engine cooling if you make this conversion, and this would involve a radiator that can handle the added condenser heat and cool a laboring engine.
He may have ideas. Maybe there are owners of 2. Please comment here! Thanks Moses, you confirmed what my brother said. I think I'll just leave it as is for right now.
