What autozone part number is it?

CL21376

i have no idea...i got it from a GM dealer....

edit: AZ doesnt carry it...its a special order part...

CheshireCat

The Autozone website has a listing for the part #34844 but it is special order.
The GM dealer may have sold you the hose for a LS1 car...
They look about the same but are different part numbers.

i think the napa wharehouse has it in stock and is open till 5

CheshireCat

that's cool. I'd definately take the original and make sure they're the same size...

CL21376

napa had the right part....now i cant seem to get it routed right...

i hate my car

CheshireCat

It isn't easy working on the LT1 Fbody... If it's the right part this time, you should be able to get it on...

the pipe/tube that runs to the evaporator routes in front of the compressor, right? or up alongside of it?

CheshireCat

On mine, that hose goes in front of the compressor along the back of the radiator shroud and then back to the evaporator.

maybe im going to have to bend it? i dont think its physically possible for it to go in front of the compressor....

CheshireCat

I want to make sure we're talking about the same hose...

Were talking about part#29 right?

CL21376

yep.....

the part that bolts into the back of the compressor is bumping up against it..i have no idea how to get it routed to the front....tried it with the compressor out, and in...nothing...

CheshireCat

So basically the distance between the part that bolts onto the back of the compressor and the part of the hose that goes up to the top isn't big enough for the compressor to fit between?

I wish I could help more, but I've never replaced this hose... Maybe it got bent and needs to be bent back... I have no idea...

CheshireCat

Pm me your email address and I'll email you a picture of how that routes on my Z

CL21376

correct....my neighbor and i tried to getting it from the top and the bottom at the same time....nada...

thanks for your help
