I see two other components in front of the radiator, that resemble cooling devices. What are they?

one is probably the aux electric fan.

it actually looks just like a small radiator...I didn't know there was another fan, I'll have to check that out

thats the oil cooler. In between the 2 is the a/c condensor.

A/C and Oil cooler? The power steering tubing makes a big 'S' in front of the radiator on an FD

cockblocked ya!!

cool...I'm debating on whether or not I should hook back up the a/c

my parts car supposedly has a good compressor, and I know all my a/c controls work...what else is involved in getting it working, assuming I replace the compressor (the current one is frozen)?





I know this robs the engine of power, but it will get over 100 degrees this summer, no doubt

the freon is the killer, its not cheap anymore

I vaguely remember a Mazda mechanic quoting me like $2- or $300 bucks...money...cold air...money....cold air...

for me, I pulled the AC out for some weight savings and just keep the winows down in the summer and always have some bottled water in the car just in case.

I had the AC converted and charged in the other vert for $150. Blows ice cold now



Im with you on this one, when its 100 degrees and hot and humid out, I know some of you have no humidity in your part of the world so you cant releate, that 5 horsepower and 20 pounds or so you lose will be well worth it!

i got orgainic air conditioning on my vert https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



charge up that AC..its worth the money

I just hate arriving where I'm going with a sopping wet ass and wet streaks down my back...bad when you're wearing kakis and dress shirt (everyday).



a guy told me that if the compressor clutch spins, it's good...is that true? my parts car's compressor spins, but not the one on my running car (no belt)

I never use a/c in any car. Just roll down the windows and open the sunroof...

I do that in the winter, becuase I have no defrost. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png I guess I need to fix that too...

i wish icould do that here in s. florida but a/c is a must down here

i just took off my ac



it works fine i'll sell it if u need a good one

thanks, but I'm pretty sure I have all the components...but I have yet to find out



I'll let you know, but I'm not sure when I'm gonna try to fix this

people who live where there is no humidity and it isnt 90 degrees CAN take thier AC off, we like it on, lol

yes and no. it can spin and still be bad, but if its locked up its bad

When I got the AC refilled on my old GXL it cost just over $300 at jiffy lube. The system was dry no freon at all. My friend hooked it up for $50 bucks, though. I feel guilty drivning witht AC on in traffic especially b/c the engine as to work soo hard... poor thing. My car was black too so even though it blew out freezing air the car's temperature never seemed to really get low.
