I was STILL worried that the AC wouldn't fit.

Here i try to figure out how it all will work with the AC compressor.


1. Here are the compressors and brackets from two versions of the engine, side by side.
  
2. This is the front wheel drive alternator bracket fitted to the engine.

3. Another view of how it sits.
  
4. These are the two upper water outlets.

5. And their backs.
  
6. The one on the right is curved to get around the cam angle sensor.

7. Here are some frame remnants that need to be trimmed.
  
8. And the other side.

9. I trimmed the bottom portion off.
  
10. On both sides.

11. Here is the fwd ac bracket on the engine.
  
12. From the side.

13. It moves the compressor forward and down, so it's unusable.
  
14. I can't even get it to bolt up.

15. It actually hits the lower control arm.

I have just about given up on air conditioning.

Oh well, I guess I don't REALLY need it in a two seat British sportscar anyway.
