Longer hoses not shorter would be needed. Might have to have custom hoses made. A good ac shop could make you up hoses to fit. I have done that.tomb22 wrote:The black bracket is off the Grand Marque. You unbolt the silver bracket which removes the pulley and the compressor just bolts in it's place with it's own pulley. I used this delete bracket to get a length for the belt is all, but you are right I'll have to get shorter hoses. I'll need to talk to them about that and the fact that I need a serpentine pulley on the compressor.Comechero65 wrote:tomb22, I have no idea how the comp would mount in place of the ac eliminator so you would have to discuss that with CAA or someone here what you would need. All the other parts you can get from CAA though since the comp would go on the pass side i think the hoses would be longer so standard mustang hoses like i used on mine would probably be too short. You may have to have the suction hose from the evap to comp custom made unless you can get the hose and cut it yourself and install your own fittings.
I have never dealt with late model engine with serp system so most of that is alien to me. If you were to install the comp on the drivers side is what I am the most familiar with. v-blets is what I'm most familiar with.
Looking at another Marque or similar years to see what they used would help.

By the way Ron the picture you saw is my signature picture and I'm now using postimages.org to load pictures. A lot faster and free.
If the comp just bolts on in place of the comp eliminator that makes that part easy. You may still need a belt length change but that comes after you get the rest set up.
Swapping the comp pulley to a serp one is easy just replace one with the other. You may have to do some spacing to get the alignment correct but that's easy.
I have images.org already I just need to find a way to copy the folders out of PB and move them to my computer then later to Postimages. Or here once Mike gets it setup.
