It has four studs sticking thru the firewall with nuts under the hood. You have to remove the heat box first, then the a/c box. This is how my 72 came out, they changed in 73 but should be similar. If your car is factory air you need that box for defrost and heat unless you find a non a/c heat...

The demand for new ones is probably nill thus no availability. I had mine repaired and it works good. Bruce

Not sure about the 508 and how it would mount. Send an e-mail to [email protected] he has helped me out with my a/c maybe he can help. I know sanden makes a shorty compressor that uses the stock mounts.

Which Sanden compressor?

:supz::supz: I agree with Ace my Dart has never had a shroud and after having the rad done never had a problem since. As I stated earlier 98+ days,idling, a/c on, never overheated.

Have you had the radiator checked? Mine was overheating on the highway didn't have any flow through the radiator. Has it cored and now it never gets over 160 in traffic, idling, with the a/c on, 98+ degrees. 160 t-stat, clutch fan, no shroud Bruce

I have all vacuum and they work fine

Should be the same they changed in 73 so any newer should work. I took the ac unit out of a four door for my two door and it fit. Bruce

Don't try to save on this project, I spent more trying to save than it cost to have a shop pump it and charge it $50. You will need a new dryer, $15 you will be much happier with the results if you do it right. Bruce

I got my a/c working, this guy in Fort Worth TX fixed the evaporator and it works great. He also sells a/c parts and is great to work with. Thought I would share his info if anyone needs an evaporator repaired because the pre 73's are hard to find. [email protected] Bruce

Does anyone know how much oil a c-171 compressor needs? These are a rotary and were used on mid-late 80's mopars. The new one I got says to drain oil and replace with oem oil. Should I put back the same amount that came out? Whats wrong with the oil they come with? I'm using r-134. Any help...

Agreed, my Dart has a stock a/c rad and after getting it cleaned it ran at idle in gear for over 30 min in 100+ heat and the elec fan never came on and you could touch the top of the rad. 160 thermostat Bruce

I use a rotary compressor on my 72 Dart (all stock under dash) the drawback is you have to have the right intake for it to work as it sits right over the thermostat housing. The setup works very well. The performer intake will work or any stock late 80's intake from a 318 or 360. Sanden also...

72 Dart w fac a/c is there supposed to be something to bolt the heat box to the fan/a/c box housing? All mine has is a single bolt near the center of the a/c box and the j hook going up to the cowl, nothing to pull it tight to the fan. Is something missing? Thanks and God Bless Bruce

If it's like my 72 Dart there is a rod coming down right side, next to the floor outlet, pull it down,or push up? and leave it there for defrost. You may have to leave the push button on defrost so the other vacuum doesn't pull it off defrost. Hope this helps. Bruce

Does anyone know if an evaporator from 74-76 Dart factory air, is the same as a 72 with factory air? Thanks and God Bless Bruce

I tried an electric fan on my 318, it was only 3" thick and still hit the pump. If your rad is in the stock location it might hit. That shroud looks pretty thick. Bruce

I have a 72 w a/c, is the evaporator box still under the dash? My controls are vacuum and when I first hooked up all the lines no defrost, I had the wrong line (the two that go thru the firewall) hooked to vacuum, switched them and the defrost works now. There is a canister on the fender well...

I used one of the valves that screw on over the smaller one and had constant leaks. Went thru two compressors before finding out it was the problem. I would use the one that goes directly into the hole. Bruce

I have a 72, you have to take out the glove box and snake your arm and a 1/4 drive socket (3/8 or 5/16)? can't remember which over to the unit, there are two nuts one right and one on the left. Texas Acres sells oem units if you are interested. Hope this helps.

Yea I guess that would help,don't know what I was thinking at the time the car is a 72 dart w/fac air.

Does anyone know where to get a diagram for the vacuum lines for the a/c box under the dash? Thanks and God Bless Bruce

Good morning all, I just finished putting a 86 360 manifold (needed for the newer compressor)and a/c comp on my 318 ,had new hoses made and bought a new condenser still under $300 for the whole setup, but I had the compressor already, everything bolted up nicely and all I need now is a new dash...
