q: Engine swap and A/C

Hi!

A question for you that have done the K20 swap (and everybody else I guess)

How did you do with your A/C? The pulley on the compressor doesn't fit the belt on the K20. You can't get just the pulley, you have to bye the whole damn clutch and everything (not so cheep over here)
Also, are there any problems with the compressor being positioned the other way around?

I haven't really thought about it much because what I did now was to buy a shorter belt and skip the A/C for now.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, it's not so much the lines I'm worried about. It's the pulley on the compressor that's made for a narrower belt.

You can swap most pulleys on most compressors, first find the required pulley then take the pulley and compressor to a good A/C shop and have them switch them. BTW most pulleys are incorperated with the A/C clutch so be prepared to spend a little $$$$$.
