I went to the junkyard today and found a 1994 Cougar with factory R134a lines and compressor. I picked up the compressor, acuumulator and orifice tube line. I also picked up a orifice tube line from a 94 4.6 V8 just because it routed different than a V6. I was courious if it would fit a SC. I am not sure at this point what I can use out of all of this. The Cougar has a rear port compressor and the lines go around the side not under like the SC. N/A V6 compressors mount upside down compared to SCs but that isn't a major problem. It also looks like the lines wont work. Also the r134a lines are quite differeent than say a 93 r12 car. I would interesting if you could use these lines as I don't believe Ford changed the condensor or evap from 1993. This would be a great R134a conversion for my old 90 Cougar V6 if I still had it. The condensor and evap lines are in the same place so that wouldn't be a problem.
This compressor is a 21 spline FS-10 and my old one is a 16 spline FX-15. I'm 99% sure that I can use my coil and pulley and the 21 spline clutch on this 94 compressor. I have been posting that we should be able to use newer style clutches and our 8 rib pulley so I guess it's time to put up or shut up.
I plan to flush the lines, condensor and evap. I will then use Ford YN-12 PAG (viscosity 46) oil with R134a.
I will keep the thread updated on my progress.
