Default compressor ready

i got me a sanden 709 engine driven compressor,
whats funny, it also happens to be the same as the stock A/C units that would have come on this engine,
so theres no need for a custom bracket or anything like that,
i'll be getting a new belt today, then this weekend hopefully hooking it up to my tanks and all that so i'll have onboard air

nice, one question though, why on earth didnt you clean that piece before you put it on. since lowriders are all about show (and not GO), why not make your engine bay clean enough to eat off of, like bolt's?

my engine bay is clean enough to eat off. but seriously, thats great that you're using a stock A/C compressor for that, just get a new serp belt and you're good to go.

if im not mistaken, a/c compressors are lubricated from refrigerant oil that circulates through the a/c system.. you may have a problem there now that it came to my attention.
