Re: Air conditioning lt1/ls1

I don't have an answer to your question, but am curious why the swap?

OK.... when I read the first post it sounded like you were just swapping the AC components....

Re: Air conditioning lt1/ls1

That's what I thought too, and I was curious of what the benefit would be.

If you did a full LS swap, didn't the PCM come with the cabling to connect the pressure sensor? As far as I know, the A/C will not turn on when the sensor is either not present or detects low pressure. If your custom lines don't have this connection, you will either need to add it, or figure out a way to trick the sensor into thinking the pressure is good (while understanding you run the risk or running the A/C with low or no pressure, destroying your components).
