Been awhile, and working on my '88. I need an AC Compressor and liquid receiver. Spare or whatever.
In Long Beach. I can pick up as needed.

Are you looking for the R12 system or are you converting to the R134a native? FYI the compressor brackets differ from them and they use different belts.

R12 system.
I have spare R12 and R134a, either works. I converted the system to use R134a years ago. R134a works almost as well, but the POE oil can absorb more moisture and cause other issues. I have enough R12 to run mineral oil and cool for another decade.
The front (head) gasket on my compressor is gone, and the liquid receiver leaks. I am looking for something to replace what I have and rebuild if I run into problems.
The AC is one of the few systems that needs attention.

I may have the compressor but I'm not sure offhand. I'll try to poke around soon.

Thank you.
I have been lurking, and still have my 88 two door. Its been hiding in the desert, used for driver training and shuttling to and from the remote shooting range on dirt trails. My son is 15, and is preparing it for street use. New bushings, brakes, a lot of cleaning, and fixing the AC is on the list.
Lockers and swampers are not real pavement friendly. If he gets the AC fixed it is motivation to swap some more streetwise tires and ease mom's fear of him drifting on 33's in the rain.
I am being selfish as I will need AC when riding navigator, and getting chauffeured over trails.

Got it covered. Do you ever hit downtown?

That is the one.
I am still in LB. I am seldom downtown LA. Practicing retirement takes up my free time.
I still have an old number for you & will call.

Still valid, that number hasn't changed since I got it in 2000.

Without a lot of room to talk, that's what I was thinking.
