Where you get the Brackets for the AC Compressor

[@JoseContreras-mv5yz]

Those are dirty dingo brackets

[@ernesttrader7364]

Why would you want to move your battery. All of your cables would have to be longer. Don't you have a parts store that makes a/c lines. Yours are in the way of all your fender space

[@ramirezj115]

Great video did get a new condenser?

[@frankdatank7751]

Lines under the intake are not an issue, it may even help with keeping the enging cooler

[@collinrobinson4306]

Hey man love the build. In the middle of an LS swap OBS myself how did you get the cruise control to work?

[@bigman7293]

Id figure you just wire the cruise control switch up to the 5.3 (or whatever engine you're running) ECM instead. There should be a wire for each input of the cruise control switch. I'm swapping a turbo 5.3 into a '95 Suburban 2500, currently, myself

[@lit549]

Ive been teying to decide which route to go on my 98 z71, keep factory compressor and get the brackets that leave compressor on drivers side.. Is this r4 compressor setup you have an option for me? Its an 05 5.3 engine swap. Tia

[@gerardolopez5875]

What route u went?

[@quicktimesmechanic9980]

Cool but that's the least efficient compressor gm ever made!!!

Hi,I like your video and i would like to invite you to do product reviews.Do you have interest in fog lights?Pls send me your email and i will send you details.Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!

What cold air intake are you running

[@MrPoopington]

Yes what I take is that???? I have a 5.3 in my OBS and want a better intake.

[@kevinwest3689]

I have a 93, put a 6.0 with 4l80e bolt to np241c turns out my computer is remanufactured, doesn't have the proper pins 4 working the AC in stand alone situation, my factory ac lines work just fine, went with the sandon compressor and high mount bracket, does it make sense to go find a computer that can be altered to work and go to the tuner every time I make an improvement or change a tire size or gear size, so I'm going to order the Terminator X Max I just can't figure out how to get the air conditioner to work. Once I find out , since it's nowhere on the internet and I don't do Facebook, I'm going to be a KZbin Rockstar.

How did you go about wiring it

[@obsbeto7058]

What harnes and ecu are you using boss ?

[@GavinHuke]

Current performance harness, ecu is out of an 09 TBSS

[@franciscomuros187]

Excuse me, which is the sensor that controls the compressor off cycles, I did the swap, install the low-pressure sensor for the accumulator, install a relay and it turns on well, but the detail is that the compressor does not turn off.

[@carterwilcox5395]

At least you didn’t have to do the evap core! Just finished up doing that on my 91 c2500. Pulling the dash is no fun

[@gtrlife7670]

[@GavinHuke]

Current performance

[@richmondHeights1]

What size belt are you using?

[@calie3850]

What did you do for wiring?

[@cesarcash602]

would this be r134a or r12 ? i got a 93 ls swapped with same compressor . put 134a but compressor acting wierd

[@stevea6722]

What oil did you put in the compressor? Think the original 93 system was R12 with mineral oil, 134 will not carry the mineral oil to lubricate the compressor. I have done a few of these conversions (never a R4 compressor though) and always use ester oil as it is compatible with R12 and R134a, not a single problem. Replace the original accumulator with a new one, need one with XH-5 or XH-7 dessicant and remember to reduce the 134 refrigerant charge by 10 - 15% from the listed R12 charge weight. When changing o-rings to the HNBR type use mineral oil to lubricate them. Also, like Gavin did, always replace the orifice tube as it is the only filter in the system.

[@emmarichard1230]

I'm doing a gen4 how hard was the wire set can you give some advice thanks great video keep 💯

[@GavinHuke]

All you've gotta do is call up current performance and tell them exactly what your doing and they will build you a harness. Exactly what I did with this truck. Building a harness is a waste of time for the price you can buy a really nice one

[@richodd2292]

how hard was it to get the gen 4 into the OBS? i have a 2013 gen 4 and wanna put it in my 97

[@GavinHuke]

Much more of a headache than a gen 3 but very doable. I still have things that seem off to me but ive got 60k miles on the swap and it hasn't skipped a beat

Gavin, Great job on your documentation of everything you've done. Question: Do you have or know of any videos of an OBS, with A/C that is turbo charged? I'm having issues visualizing exactly where everything would land without damaging or melting the lines. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Which ac compressor fittings did you get?? And also, how did you wire the harness?
