I am trying to add AC to my '84 FJ60 that came from the factory without AC. It is proving to be a PITA.
I have two other 60's that are both '87s and have been using them as a guide. I purchased a full set of used hoses from Cruiseryard and a condensor from Rock Auto, but have now figured out that the condensor piping changed between "84 and '87. The hose set I received appears to be for the earlier configuration since the compressor to condensor line does not have the large bent hard line on it that was used on later models. However the condensor I got is for the the later model. and requires that hose. Now I am having trouble finding the earlier model condensor (Denso 477-0155) in stock anywhere.
Added to that, the later model condensor comes with a hard line attached that connects back to the drier hose. The earlier model condensor does not appear to come with the hard line attached and I think it is different. In a perfect world I would like to stick with the correct parts for the '84 but I want to get this done soon.
If anyone has a stock '84 with AC intact I would love to get some pics of the hoses and hard lines in and out of the condensor. Also any thoughts on where I can find the parts I need to go one route or the other, preferably the configuration that was used for the '84. Thanks
