Mutha trucking Vintage Air

Got my kit today... going to slap er together but noticed I’m missing the AC o ring lube...
Any off the shelf replacements I can use?
I only ordered the evap kit I’ll work on the other parts later. Easy way to break up the costs.

Ya I think the o-ring lube comes in the condenser kit. Any parts store should have some I believe.

I never used specific o-ring lube on any AC system. Just used a little AC oil on them. Whatever you are using to pre-lube the various components, whether it's Ester or Pag will work fine.

Something like this Ok?

That will be fine. I've always used PAG with 134a systems and mineral oil with R12.

 

[eskimomann209]

Awesome. Thanks for the help everyone.

Yep, that's good in most instances. It's a very universal fluid.

Watching this thread let us know how the install goes! I'm going that way also and curious!

I've done probably 50 AC systems and always used a little PAG (or Ester back in the day).

Cool will do. Mine might be a little different. I shaved off most of the old holes in the fire wall. I retained a couple thinking it was going to be used for the vintage air kit. I was wrong. Should have welded em up. I’ll still put plugs in em.

I put a vintage air in my wife's 69 mustang. It's a great product. Installation was straight forward. I took my time for routing of hoses and wires so that everything looks nice

under the hood. I have to fab some nice clamps/brackets for mounting the ac hoses.

My girl has the LM7 in her from a 02 truck.
LS is pretty nice. Makes daily driving much a gooder.
When I LS swapped it I shaved the wall and removed all HVAC. It made rain driving a pain. I’d fog up quick LOL.
But we are on our way.

That thing looks new. My area is too dusty. Within three days it all needs a wash and a detail I have given up.
