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.
