Re: [Amc-list] AMX AC

I think you may have seen a Sanden mounted where the air pump used to be as
you mentioned.
I looked on ebay and did a web search for Sanden compressors and found all
sorts of them, and some of them
will mount directly to the old York mount as Mark talked about. The reason
this is so easy is because Ford and
Chrysler used the same York compressor that AMC used, they just used a
different bracket to mount it to their engines.
I think a Sanden has a lower profile than the York so ends up looking much
better in the high upper passenger side area.
The drivers down low could be an air pump, the driver's up high has always
been the power steering pump location.
Some one please jump on this if I'm wrong.

Oh yeah, one last thing, I found information regarding cheaper Chinese
copies of Sanden compressors, some one on
this list was talking about them last year. They are probably the
compressors on ebay that are priced in the $120 or so range.

> Getting rid of the York is a combination of looks and operation. The
vibration of the York is a problem as well as the placement. It's a big unit
mounted right up front on the pass side of the engine. The lack of vibration
of the round compressors contributes to the longevity of the system by NOT
producing leaks.

York was. Can you get a Sanyo with a V-belt pulley. Does someone make an
adapter to mount the Sanyo in the stock or other position? Maybe what I saw
was a Sanden mounted where the air pump used to be.
