Kathy,
On my '85 the hose went through holes in the actual =
chassis in
the left rear area immediately in front of the wheel well opening. =
There
were two big rubber grommets there. I ran the hose from =
the
compressor, through the opening, under the van next to the low-pressure =
hose, up
into the left front wheel well opening, over the front sub frame to the =
inside
toward the front, and up next to the radiator to the condenser. I =
ended up
neatly cutting the big grommets on one side, slipped the grommets on the =
hose. I lubricated them with WD-40 and pushed them back into their =
original place in the frame. I used wire ties to hold the hose in =
place in
many places. I replaced all the o-rings, then took it to the shop =
to get
it charged.
The A/C is good enough to take the humidity out and =
make the
inside bearable.
Now I need a muffler.
