A/C car swap

I have read the non-AC car conversion posted by Jason in 2012. I am wondering if it is possible to transfer a functionally charged system from an AC car to another AC car with out disconnecting the refrigerant lines on the donor. At a 1st glance it looks possible, by removing the RH (Inner/Outer) fender. Has anyone attempted this process or is it just easier to bleed down the R134A (Previous owner did the conversion) and move it over piece by piece? The car it would be migrating to has multiple bad components as it can be drawn down but will not hold refrigerant. thanks in advance for any insight.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
