Default air con q difference between cos and 2l dohc

just need a question answering really

ive just bout a xr4x4 2l dohc and only just noticed it has aircon

now im going to be fitting my cossy engine nxt year and would really like to keep the air con if possible

what i want to know is will the mounting brackets and pumps fit onto the side of the 200 block and everything line up ok?

also if it does any sugestions on what to do with the rad and fan as i will be fitting a 500 cooler unless i can get a front mount like a skyline etc

Does it depend on the belts used.

Some are poly V belts and i think the power steering is on the opposite side so will have to make it all the same as the air con pulleys.

You have to use every thing off a cosworth thats as air con condensor rad pump clutch pipes pulleys brackets etc.. are diffrent to the dohc.

The bulkheads are the same so all should just bolt in.


I sure i read some where you can get a 500 cooler to fit a esc cos with aircon.if not try someone like proalloys i sure thet=y could make something up to fit.

PS. aircon bulkheads are diffrent to any other sierra without air con.

it's not toxic, it's just that hippies complain that the release of it contributes to global warming. but then what doesn't?
