Can someone give me a photo of the stand of the compressor(of AC) on 360, i need to see the stand what it looks like, where and how it is conncted to the engine block. Is there enough space in the heeter radiators room for the AC radiator(evaporator).
Can you show me some photos where AC hose goes in.
is these some software, where I can see the size of the parts?
I have Vadis, but there it written only the number of the part but not its dimentions.

PS
I hope you undestand what i mean, cose i'm not sure :-)

Edit:
do you hava an idea if AC from 740 will fit in 360? are they same?

Compressor from a 740 is similar, but everything else is completely different, even down to the type of system.

If you know about A/C the 740 system is an orifice tube system whereas the one in the 300 series is a TXV system.

i dont know much but a friend of mine told me that the most important thing is the way compressor will be mounted and that is why it must be with the original stand, because if its not it may tear the belt every few days even if its not working, so i suggest that i can use from 740 because they are comparatively easy to find.

Here you can see the A/C Compressor on a 360 GLT.

It's the best image that I have of it.

Hope that helps.

I could probably get some pics, might be able to take some tomorrow depending on how the day goes! I've got to learn about it all myself soon.
