A/C discharge manifold

A significant problem will be relocating the A/C discharge manifold and hose.

One possibility is a custom bent and welded manifold with the refrigerant fitting located so it is accessed thru the existing round hole in the radiator support frame.

However, that may be a possible location for a very small power steering reservoir. Another possibility is to locate a custom manifold at the rear of the A/C compressor. Either way, a longer and rerouted discharge hose will be needed.

I will try to find a local A/C shop experienced in custom installations and discuss options.
