Heat and Air - 06/18/14 02:57 AM
Looking to put a heat and air unit in the Plymouth pick up. Anyone running the v pump or are they a waste of time? Working on a budget so if there are any deals out there post them up!

the round "sanden" type compressor is easier to package than the old v type pump, plus it is almost half as heavy. all the heat/ac kits offered for retrofit are packaged with the sanden pump for those reasons. unless you are restoring something, the new pump is the way to go. also, unless you are real handy at fabbing stuff, the kits are the only way to go. you will be time and money ahead. there are tons of little things needed to make a "mix-n-match" system work. just my opinion.

What is so wonderful about those units? Any other late model stuff that makes sense to swap into a rod?

Update....Randy at Bouchilon Performance is hooking me up with a compressor and brackets. A friend is a dealer of old air products and I am going with a hurricane unit that mounts to the firewall.
The geo metro is a great hvac unit but you just can't find them.
It's more expensive to go this way but it's only money!

I suspect since the Geo Metro is a small car low power car, the unit under the dash, and the ac compressor would both be rather small. Gene

These were popular in Phoenix back in the day. The compressor is the size of a starter and you can mount them low.

I got a question, can the compressor and evaporator be too big for the under dash unit? In others words can you mix and match or does it need to be a matched package?

yes they need to match and somewhere there must be a formula----mopar and ford have had the most success--and gm under duress will blow hot air ---dont know how suzuki stacks up....
