I’m no expert but I believe old AC systems worked by cycling the pump on/off as was required to maintain the refrigerant at the correct T’s and P’s where as the newer systems run the pump continuously and use a valve to regulate the flow of the refrigerant.

There is 3 Allen key plugs you use. They come in a lot from memory. I got mine from precision international.

Hey all I know I said I was going to wait for workshop and house to be built but got bored so out came the old girl and slipped in the lsa so not mounts no box just sitting on the x member with a piece of wood needs to go down and back I can see why the drivers side headers would be a pain going to be interesting to build them

If you want it lower and under bonnet. Look into k frame spacers and the CTSV lid

Ve bracket and alternator.

Factory Holden tensioner as the power steering is part of the rack.

I think the first time you dummy drop the engine in, is a significant, beer cracking, happy “moment” in a build!

Hey all I have done some home work and modifying the cross member is out of the question so now looking at spacers ( I know I said I wouldn’t but ah )  so can any tell me pros and cons if any Castlemaine have a kit that would fit it under the bonnet (Thoughts)

trouble is they are not as good as the zl1 ones

Yeah but is it that much of an issue?

Once you’re over 400rwhp on street tyres you’re traction limited anyway..

You will actually find they are better. Whilst the don’t have as good a brick, they are capable of flowing more air.

Cheers Guys but is there any issues using the spacers that you know of

Are they legal?

So a custom tubular  K frame is not legal either then?

Highly unlikely.

My mate with a VP used 25mm spacers and a ctsv hat. It JUST fit.

I have a feeling you have even less clearance.

Will mess with the driveline angles, might get away with it or maybe needs correction, hard to tell each car is different.
