O2 sensors can be a pain in the ass, I’ve had one throw a code every couple days then wouldn’t do it for a few months and then start doing it again and it’s been like 2 years since it threw a code for it lol

I have been researching AC components for a couple of months now. Found a shop willing to do the custom AC work and I worked closely with their tech making sure I order the correct parts. This morning I pulled the trigger on ordering parts. Vintage Air condenser kit, Vintage Air hose kit, ICT compressor bracket and compressor. Summit had everything I needed. Parts will be here this week. Once here I will get most the nut and bolt installation complete before taking it in to be completed.

I spent about $1600 for the VA from Rutters rod shop in NC

Then had to buy the LS bracket that moves the Comp up top of the engine from some other place
Think it was $160
