I've got an '88 MJ with a 5 speed/ Renix 4.0 and A/C delete.
Bought it a couple days ago on an impulse, totally forgetting that I really needed a vehicle with A/C. So far, everything else I've looked into buying is absolute junk so I'm considering finding an A/C equipped donor and swapping the stuff over.
Now, I'm totally aware that this won't be a simple process - dash comes out, gotta swap current heater box for an A/C and heat box, gotta get the compressor, dryer, condenser and hoses, dash controls, etc........
My question really is....... did the Renix era jeeps get engine/dash wiring harnesses with A/C wiring included? Or will I have to also swap an entire harness too?
I know the system will be required to be swapped to R134a from R12...... anyone know what that entails?
Hoping to get info to help justify the work/expense, or firmly decide to sell it in favor of an A/C equipped vehicle.
The MJ is in real good shape so I think it'd be worth doing for that reason anyway........ :dunno:
Thanks in advance!
