Hi! Thought I'd show an easier method I discovered to replace the awkward-to-get-at Air Conditioning Compressor on my LT1 RoadMaster---------------- This should work on the '94-'96 line of GM's B and D-body cars with the LT1, here's a list below: ---
- Chevrolet Caprice & Impala
- Buick Roadmaster
- Cadillac Fleetwood
Possibly others cars with the LT1, and/or maybe mid 90's V6 Camaros, which happen to use the same compressor, which is where my new one came from.
I show in detail how I removed the compressor, what's needed to get it back in easily, and finally show it all working, unfortunately a bit noisily, but with ICE COLD AIR for the 1st time! That is what matters after all! I also ramble on about some tips I've discovered over time working on my Air Conditioning systems, and show a little bit of the car.
I know I said I'd show a tour of the car, but ran out of time and now it's too late in the year. I'll upload a nice tour in the Spring with more tips and updates on the compressor, so stay tuned. Was still engaging before it got too cold, so appears to be holding!
Another idea I just came across, after getting out the compressor you can notch / slot the rear bracket mounting hole, so next time you can just LOOSEN the stud and pull the compressor out. Though you still have to get it out first! See here, pretty funny guy....:o):
• AC compressor bolt LT1...
The car is my 'new' 1994 Buick Roadmaster sedan. LT1 Corvette engine, not too bad shape, been doing some work on it and now running really well, boy does the body shine!
Hope this helps someone, thanks for watching!
