air con install

[shaunb]

Team

A mate of mine has a Mk1 Cortina running a pinto that he is fitting aircon into.

He is using the Cortina main bracket as a start point (I think these were TE/TF?).

Does anyone have a Cortina manual showing how everything is arranged, belts run etc? At an initial look the pulley spacing etc looks different from an Escort install.

Would appreciate a scan and email if anyone has anything out there?

Cheers

Hey Steve

Escorts are are different set up than Cortina's, Escort aircon mounts on the passsenger side, Cortina on the drivers side, the whole shooting match is different.

all pintos are the same
alt & a/c compressor can only be mounted on the exhaust side
no room on dizzy / oil filter side

I have wrecked out 2 x Mk2 Ghias (both 2 litre cars) that had factory air, both were on the passenger side.

Aircon Ghias have the battery in the boot, I am guessing to make a bit of extra room.

I have bought a Cortina manual of fleebay so should have some drawings later this week.

Any drawings you have of either Escort or Corty would be appreciated.

PS: Those wheels are still sitting there if you want them.
