Part 21: The 1991 Chevrolet (Chevy) Project Shop Truck has air conditioning! In part 1, I showed you three different a/c compressors and chose to use the low mount Dirty Dingo compressor. In this install, I show you how to install the compressor on your LS motor for a truck application AND install the motor with the a/c to show what modifications are needed to make it fit the OBS truck frame.

A few highlights:
1) If using an engine with the 3 cast in mounting bosses (where only 2 are tapped) it is necessary to drill and tap the lower boss to mount this kit.
2) Spacers are provided for the upper mount and for the tensioner. Read directions carefully, it will tell you which bolts and spacers to use in each application.
3) Take your time drilling and tapping
4) The framework is not difficult, position your engine in the frame prior to cutting to be sure of where you will cut, don't guess.

Oddly enough, the kit for the a/c parts cannot be found on the Dirty Dingo Site using the above part # even though it shipped from DD. It may be a specific # used by Amazon. The part # for the fittings is on the DD site, but not on Amazon.
As I mentioned in the video, I wanted to post up what the parts cost. However, I did not want to add this expense to the total of the project truck. Reason? It is optional and a lot of people may choose not to run a/c. In my case I will need it and made the decision to go this route.
