AC with SR anyone??

Zilvia.net Forums - A/C after SR-swap: "! HOW TO USE KA24DE A/C SYSTEM WITHOUT ANYTHING CUSTOM !
Make shure you read this al the way through before trying it because there is an important note at the end.

A little info for those trying to have a/c on the old sr, stay with the ka compressor if you had an ka24de.

Also be aware that tere are 2 types of compressors for the ka24de Both are factory and have the calsonic label on them. One of them has the smaller of the 2 clutches and it the clutch is black. This one bolts upto the sr braket with all 4 bolts BUT the pulley does not line up perfectly as was previously mentioned.YOU DO NOT NEED ANY CUSTOM BRAKET TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ! I have come up with a much easier solution to this problem. That is to use a diffirent belt. The stock belt is a 4 ribbed belt. What i did was i went to NAPA and got a 3 ribbed belt with the same lenght Part NO. 25-030350. What you do is you puth the belt on the inside of the crank pulley and then let it ride on the outside of the a/c compressor pulley. I ran it like this for a while with no problems Then i screwed up the compressor (dont ask) and now i went to a different compressor just because i found it at the junkyard cheap.

The other type of compressor that comes with the ka24de has a big gold color clutch and will only line up 2 bolts. This one lines up perfectly with the other pulley and can use stock a/c belt. I have had this setup about a month now with no problems as of yet.

(!IMPORTANT! remove the center bolt from the SR compressor braket or else it will puncture the side of the ka compressor when you tighten it down,dont ask how i know)"
