I have an 87T that was AC stripped. The evaporator(?) is still under the dash and the two lines have been duct taped closed for ~4 years to keep it clean. The engine will be out of the 87T. I have all of the original AC stuff minus the AC lines. I also have an 89T and an 86.5NA spare parts cars, both of which have un-opened AC systems.
Goal is to put AC back onto my 87T using the donor parts. I have a few questions:
Are the AC systems the same from 86.5 -> 89, Turbo/non-turbo?
Can I just unbolt from car "A" and bolt onto car "B"?
Assuming the 89T has a functional AC system, will the dryer be OK swapped? How long can the dryer be "open" to atmosphere during swap?
Can I recharge it with R134 MYSELF if I convert? (I don't mind investing a few dollars here as I have a few Supras myself, and friends w/ Supras.)
Where do I get the o-rings/kits/lines required?
Any other tips/problems?
Yes I searched and read a ton about the Supra AC system on this forum.
Thanks!
