Hey everyone! I'm making this post to hopefully help out anyone who has a 95 to 97 cruiser with an A/C drier located in the worst spot possible.
This post is not a "how to" but a "heres an answer that may work for anyone located in Los Angeles post." The goal of this relocation is to place the A/C drier in the location of a 91-94 cruiser which is in front of the driver side battery.
Attached is a photo of of mine when I bashed the drier on a rock. Good time haha. I am a man that needs reliable cold as it gets type of A/C.
What I did..... First remove your A/C drier(drain feon out correctly lol). Then remove your two A/C drier lines. Throw the A/C drier in the trash. You dont need it any more.
You'll need to go to a junk yard and get the lines from a 91-93 cruiser and the drier bracket. Go buy a new drier as well for a 91-93 cruiser. Dont use some used drier. Thats no bueno.
What you'll fine is the fitting from an R12 system is not the same as what is in your system. This is the tricky part. You'll need to fab these lines. Taking the lines from your truck and the lines from a junk yard you'll need to eye ball how to route and cut them in and weld. Its a huge pain and will take well into 6 hours of your time.
I personally took this to a A/C specialist located in Culver City CA. His name is Young and his shop is called Master radiator and Air conditioning located at 11470 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066 . His charge is $400.00 flat for the relocation. All you have to do is bring the lines and braket from a 91-93 cruiser and he'll do everything as well as supply new drier.
Attached are photos of the completed work.
