I didnt even think of the toolbox option but I think that may be harder to do. I was also thinking about having the box half in half out which would be probably the easiest but wouldn't look as good. I will probably end up heating up the middle hump thing with a torch and just bending it enough...

Scootertrs did you have a chance to mess with the a/c install over the weekend? I am still trying to figure out how I should install the evap box.

True. Or you could use some aviation headphones if you want to get really fancy with one pair and just tie it into the CB radio. Then if you put a loud speaker on the outside of the truck then everything would work through the headphones. I dont know why you would need to but it sure would be...

How can you even hear the CB while the engine is running. I know its almost impossible to even carry on a conversation in the truck while the engine is running.

Well today I tore the dash apart in order get all the tubes out and clear a space for the evap box by the passengers feet except I ran into a problem. DANG! The box is just a little to long to clear the middle bump thing by about 2 inches. Looks like I will have to cut a square out of it in...

So today I went ahead and took out the old heater in the truck. I did some measuring and it looks like the evap box will fit! I will have to remove the support right above the heater that also holds the engine diagnostic recepticle plug out of the way. Thats easy! Then I can put the box mostly...

Good idea!

What I meant was hooking up the pnematic solenoid the way you described with the t's and then using the electrical power source from the compressor clutch (which engages/disengages the clutch) to activate the solenoid, engaging the fan, and have the a/c compressor engaged all at once.

Thats good hopefully we can get some pictures of that! Was it the kind I have or you have that he installed?

Thats what I was thinking of doing as well, then it would be all automatic.

Today I installed the drier which was about a 15 minute job. It was pretty easy and I had to do no modification which is always good. I found a spot located at the front right of the truck. It was a perfect fit. Here are the pictures.

I love that air valve idea I only thought of the bolts for the fan. It would be cheap and easy which is always best! I could just tie in the solenoid with the compressor clutch which would engage the fan every time the compressor is told to kick in from the temp gauge in the fan unit.

I was thinking the same thing but fitting a fan and a condensor in between the radiator and the grill would prove to be a challenge while keeping it looking stock from the outside. I dont quite remember the clearance between the radiator and the condensor but I know there isn't alot of room.

I was thinking the same as scootertrs due to cleaaning. I also was going off that truck with the a/c installed in it. I plan to secure the connector ends of the hoses so it won't pull anything loose and cause problems and along with more hose I think it should be o.k.

Here are some pictures of the condensor that I installed yesterday. You can hardly even see it behind the grill. yes there is a port for outside air, I believe that there is a flap that opens the vent but in the pictures goldneagle posted I cant really see it. I'm not positive about all the air...

Sorry i dont have the NSN number, all I have is the contract number DAAE07-99-C-M007. Wish I had the number.

Dang!

This probably wont work but its supposed to be a picture of the evap/fan unit. If it didn't work I will upload from another computer tomarrow.

My evap/fan unit is one unit along with the heater built in. It was originally designed for an MTVR and the fan unit was made to go about the same area where the original heater is already located. I plan to take the stock heater out and put the new unit in. I have done some measuring on that...

So today I started work on my a/c install. I started with the condensor and I made the brackets to hold it on out of the original mounting brackets my kit came with. They were way to big so I cut them down shorted them and painted them high gloss black which matched the condensor. After the...
