Ramcharger Diesel AC hook-up

Hey guys, looking for some help on grafting my diesel AC and getting it to work. Found some threads but still a bit fuzzy on the how to make it work.

What I have:
-87 Firewall / cab cooler with "H" block
-87 Condenser and lines, which I think I can get to fit in front of the intercooler (This will take some modifying as I have a 96 intercooler)
-96 Cummins engine and AC pump
-96 Condenser and lines

Now I can hook up the 96 pump, 96 condenser, but would have to modify the lines to fit the H block on the firewall... Or I can fit the H block on the firewall and H block condensor, but would have to modify to fit the pump.

Any advice would be very appreciated. Plan on running to California in July with my boat (Through Nevada). I am good with the wing windows and vents, but the wife... not so much. She is willing, but if I can get it to work I will be much better off.

Thanks,

If you take both lines to an automotive AC shop they can make you a custom line so everything will hook up.

Mhuppertz,

Still working on it. School got in the way and now that it is finished I am getting it ready for paint and then I will dive into the other interior / AC issues.

I may need some pipes braised to make it all work. I have a torch, but not sure I want to try it, we'll see.

Thanks,
