I fixed problems.

Problem 1:

3 out of 6 were “problematic”:

Now we wait:

Tomorrow, people fly on planes from other places to come get their trucks…. And go do cool things with trucks.

Hung out with church folk and we did a quick juant tortillas ranch. Off Apache trail.

The kit is cheapest on Amazon.
 
Has anyone done a Vintage Air install with a LS (LM7) engine and has a solid understanding for how the two systems should be wired together. I am mainly asking for the purposes of having the engines computer know when the A/C gets turned on and hence have the engine go into a higher load setting to compensate for the A/C load.
I have the two schematics that I am stepping through..., just wondered if anyone has already gone down this road.
Thanks to JTrager I already have his mechanics number..., probably my next step-
Happy Easter yall !

You can tap into the AC compressor clutch wire, ecu should have an AC compressor clutch input. Depending on the year and model of your ecu, it may want input from the AC controls and pressure sensors, but it may still work without those. You can also use the GM ecu to control electric fans if you did not already know that.

T hanks for this info...!
I have a dual fan setup and l those are already controlled by the ECU with a series parallel 3 relay setup. When the GM a/c pressure switch get triggered on the high side, that should also trigger the low power and then when needed the high power settings on the dual fans to keep the condenser happy. I still need to figure out if the pressure change on the a/c system will also trigger a different power band for the engine to operate at now that there is a new compressor load.
I am also doing my own tune so trying to establish these a/c pressure triggers for the fan configuration is getting intense but doable i think.
Cheers!

@NeVrDun aren't you worried about stress cracks in the rear quarter panel with flex between the frame and body?

I am less worried about stress cracks and more worried about the tire carrier failing on the highway because it only had one connection point. That single (lower) connection point has not shown any signs of wear and tear but I like a redundant system, especially when the warranty is on my shoulders...
