i am wanting to use the serpentine setup from a 1995 5.0 engine and i was wondering if i could use the A/C already on it without using the damned computer

 

it's a stroked 302 right? if so, you should be able to just switch the pullies over, seeing as the bolt patterns match, and use the serp setup. otherwise, you may have to get a kit elsewhereto match the bolt pattern.

EDIT: and i see no reason to need the comp. is the motor you wanna convert a carb?

 

the motor im using is a 5.0 im just converting it to carb

 

yeah, you're good than. if you're converting it to a carbed motor, you just need to lose the sensors and intake/fuel rails. i'm assuming (since you're converting it to a carb) that the motor already has the serp belt pullies and everything on it, right? cause than all you need to do is switch the intake and add a carb.

 

i know i can do that!! [:@]i already have!! [:@]i just want to know if i can use the air conditioner!!! [:@]

 

yikes man calm down its ok!!!! i think you wont be able to becasue the computer is what controls the a/c so instead just get an older setup off a early car and it should be a direct bolt on, i have seen many people use 5.0 motors with the old york styled compressors so i dotn see a problem.

 

yeah, cuz, relax. i misunderstood exactly what you were asking. i thought you were talking about the serp set up, not specifically using the a/c. sorry.

 

Yes. If you are using the serpentine belt setup, you can also use the FS6 compressor. The compressor has no direct relationship with the EFI or ignition setup. Even the slightly older FS6's from the mid 80's that were actually designed for use with R12 freon will happily run R134A freon too. Unlike the old 60's York style compressors which usually don't develop enough pressure to cool very well with R134A. My personal experience with both types anyway.
If you are sort of nuts, you can even find the same compressor in the Aerostar version with a V-belt pulley and adapt it to a 302 setup using V-belts and a couple of the sepentine brackets. It's a big pain in the butt to do though. Stuff won't quite line up and make it very difficult to ge tthe belts to line up nicely. If you're me, the whole thing will eventually **** you off so to the point you toss it all in favor of a "real" serpentine setup.

 

Ok, the cougar was originally an A/C car but it was all gone when i got it (heater core, expansion thingy, everything)

So you're sure I can use this A/C compressor? what do I need to run the A/C now?

 

So basically you want to hook up a "new" compressor to an existing "old" AC system. Not a real big deal, just takes money. The very easiest way is to have the late style AC hoses coming from the compressor AND the 60's AC hoses too. Stick everything in there for mockup purposes. Figure out how the hoses need to run. (You are realizinng the late model hoses won't mate with a 1960's AC system, right?) Take some wire or something that you can tie the four hoses all together. Take your "two" frankestein hoses off and take them to your local hydraulic hose/AC hose repair shop. Explain how you are mating a new drivetrain to an old car and how you need your existing four hoses made into two hoses you can bolt in or two complete new hoses made up. Most shops can repair/splice the hoses together for you but few can make them.
You might want to check with places like Vintage AUto Air and such to make sure they haven't already gone through the trouble. They might have such things as "5.0 transplant hoses" already made. It sure would save you alot of trouble if they do.
If you dont' haven any existing AC parts, it's best to go with used or replacement original parts. I haven't seen where anyone has transplanted the evaporator and stuff from a newer Mustang. Probably because it'd be a very rough job. Even just the condenser from a Fox or Fox 4 chassis won't fit. At all. Original AC system. New compressor and brackets. Custom made hoses to mate them together. You're not the first person to do this, what I've said seems to be the usual way of getting the job done.
