A/C to on board air
« on: July 23, 2004, 02:08:07 PM »
ok last night i scored a A/C compressor with hoses, bracket and bolts.  my question is, is the A/C bracket and the P/S bracket one peace on trackers that came with those from the factory?   if so is their any way to build the brackets together into one peace so i can run it?  i also know i need a A/C and P/S belt to run it and i need to put a few drops of oil in it every time i use it.

thanks,  stu

I'll assume it's a Tracker AC unit. And these probably don't have an oil reserve for the compressor. The oil was in with the freon. You'll need to add oil in the intake side and a oil separator on the output side. If not, your compressor won't last very long.

I've known guys run a compressor with just adding a few drops before running to pump up their tires, then add some more before finishing. They run without the separator and it's last for years.

I just added on board to my brother's '89 Sidekick.  I used an inline oiler and a small air filter before the compressor.  After the A/C compressor there is a air/oil filter,  pressure switch, safety valve, pressure gauge (in the dash), and  a small coleman propane tank as my air tank.  I run it up too 100 psi.  I can fill a 30x9.5 15 from 16 psi to 22 psi in less than 10 seconds when the engine is idleing.  Oh, one more thing.  The compressed air runs through the condensor that the stock A/C used.

Stu,
Yea, here it goes again :P Call Hawk ;D I was confused when I was trying to get the powersteering (and compressor)installed from my 97 into my 89. Some stuff lined up and others did not. There are slight sifferences in compressors and brackets depending on wich one you have. I think I talked to Chris about this stuff, but just tell whom ever answers that you have AC bracket questions and they will put him on the line. Have the compressor with you when you call so you can give him a name or part # off of it so he knows which one you have, and your hooked up.

To answer the question you asked, no they are two seperate pieces.  The bottom A/C  bracket bolts to the top of the PS bracket.  I have two sets of brackets and two pumps.  All are from dirrerent years and they look the same to me.

All are NOT the same. Some of them will space the front of the compressor in/out different depending on the compressor. There were two different compressors used on the Kick/Trackers.
