did you already buy one? Because I have one sitting in my garage I took out of my truck since I have never nor plan on using my AC, but before I took it out AC worked flawlessly.

I paid $130 or so for it. I appreciate the offer, but I really needed it last night so I could get this thing back together. The new one is already installed and the dash is on it's way back together.

Yep dash is back together. Interior is done. The custom a/c line I had made yesterday doesn't fit though, so I gotta have it redone again. Just gotta pre-fill the new accumulator and evap core with oil and bolt them up and I'll be all finished with my part.... then I just gotta have my buddy pull a vacuum on the system and recharge it.

Did you do the custom line so you could get the a/c line away from the downpipe? If you don't mind could you snap some pics of the cumstom line when you get installed.

Yeah I can do that. It's mostly to get it away from the new manifold. The old one was further back and left more room for the a/c lines up front. I'll take a pic when I get it in. Here's the pic with the OEM a/c line. You can see where it passes extremely close by the manifold right after it comes out of the compressor. There is less than a finger width's space there. Too close for my comfort. I'll get a pic with the new one once it's done.

Truck started today, no electrical gremlins that I've found so far. I'll have the vac and recharge done this weekend hopefully. I forgot to take pics of the new a/c line before i put the inner fenderwell back in
