Hi everyone! I hope all are enjoying the holiday season and filling your Christmas list with lots of new Bronco parts! Its winter, the perfect time to tackle the Air Conditioning. The A/C in this vehicle is an original R12 system, working, will cool on a cool day. As I will have to convert from R12 to R134a, I've decided to replace the whole kit and caboodle (probably even the heater core). Already had the system pumped out, currently researching parts - any recommendations on a compressor? I have an FX-15 in place, the FS-10 replaces it for R134a, I'm leaning toward the Motorcraft unit on RockAuto, though I'm tempted by the FourSeasons at less than half the cost. RA has all the parts, as well as a R134a rated condenser, which will provide greater heat transfer and greater cooling capacity. Replacing everything will eliminate any old oils and residues. Once install is complete, I'll have my mechanic pump it out and charge it. That's the plan.
