Alright guys for some reason the previous owner disconnected the ÁC in the car. I was going to put it back in and had some questions. I don't want to buy new crap so I'm going to hit up the junk yard. The car needs the condenser and the lines. Can I get it from a base model or is the SS different? There's a couple base models at the local junk yard so that would be nice if I could get the parts from one of them. Thanks

 

what do you mean by disconnected? Did they just unplug the wire for the compresser or did they remove the whole system?

 

The first post says I need the condenser and the lines. The pump is still there everything else is disconnected. It's been hot as **** here lately and I relized I need ÁC.

 

sorry my B, read the first post wrong. What year is it and is it SC or N/A SS?

 

The car is an 06 ss/sc. I haven't looked at any base models yet I just saw they had them at the junk yard. Honestly I've never even looked under the hood of a base model. I just don't want to buy the **** new so that would be nice if It was a direct swap.

 

Well what i have been able to find so far is the A/C condenser is the same Part # across the board for 2006 2.2 2.4 and 2.0 engines.

 

Im getting diffrent part #'s for the compresser but cant find anything for the lines.

 

Ahh that's good. I was really wondering about the lines. I don't know where the pump is on the base models. Cant find if it's in the same place or not. I tried googling images of the engine bay but it's all covered up. I would think they would be in the same place for the people that do the sc swap on the base models but just wanted to be sure.

 

Just found the lines.... they are different. AC delco part number for 2.0 for the lines is 1533404, AC delco part # for lines for the 2.2 is 1533214

 

RockAuto Parts Catalog

thats what i have been using and ive just been looking at part # for the 2.0 then just changing to the 2.2 and comparing part #'s

 

Alright man thanks for the info.

 

Alright one more question. How many AC lines are there? I have one line that came with the car. What else do I need? The AC was never installed when I had it so I don't know what it's supposed to look like.

 

thats the refrigerant hose, connects the condenser and compressor.

 

The line that comes from the fire wall is gone too. This is lame I don't know why anyone would take the AC out of a car. Would you be a gent and take a picture of what I am missing?

 

Im at work so i cant but im trying to find a diagram online of the system

 

could be one of many reasons why its not there, someone probably did it thinking would reduce weight.... could have been in an accident with front end damage and they never replaced the system etc etc

 

Ok i found a parts diagram, you need 3 lines, one which you have which is the the lower pressure hose which is part 8 in the diagram, the other two you need is the return line assembly, thats the on that goes into fire wall, the other is the upper pressure hose.

 

There we go I've been looking for a diagram. I was lookin at the 300 hp book. Now I need to go to gm and get all the fittings and orings. So I have line 8. Does line 14 connect to the firewall or like 4?

 

4 goes into the fire wall i believe, i got the diagram at gmpartsdirect.com. They have all those lines and i believe it says some of them come with the o rings and fittings. its under HVAC
