There are literally several dozens of write ups on this. Also your friend is a retard if he told you a b series wont fit. No the ac compressor will not bolt onto the block without an adapter bracket but they exist and are easily available.

FAQs are made for a reason.

Why is everyone so concerned with keeping the D-series A/C compressor... just take your lines out, and run a compressor/lines from a 'teg.. the damn evaporator is in the same place, and the lines will run right to it.

Or, you could buy the adapter plate, and that's alot easier.

B-series won't fit.. :shakehead

What is A/C? Isn't that just rolling the windows down? Whats the engine have to do with that other than how fast you go to get more air in?

I use 2-70... the improved model.

It used to be 4-70.. but no power windows, and I lost the rear window cranks :P
