I've recently been mapping out parts for an (eventual) A/C install.  This bundle at RockAuto has the compressor, condenser, o-ring kit, expansion valve, and accumulator/drier for $195.  I think that's everything under the hood, except hoses.

I almost ordered that same kit but the condenser looked good. I had no idea the lower fitting would self destruct. Every other fitting did fine.
In retrospect I should have gotten the kit with the condenser even if I didn't need it!

Main problem i see with that compressor is the hose ports on the back vs being on top(stock) since the coolant hose runs behind the compressor in the weird loop it does?

[GreasemonkeySC]

Mine runs to the rear of the compressor, but it's a 92. I know there are a few small differences in the 91\92.

Old compressor

Moved the bench back.  With a ball peen hammer.  PO was short, just bought the truck.  Wife sat in driver's seat and pulled the lever, I reached under the pass side and pulled that latch (cable wasn't pulling very strong), and I had to whack the seat rail on the pass side to get it to move.  Looks like I will need to lube that.

Might want to remove the bench and tighten up the cable/hooks so it pulls the passenger side latch better. Worked for me.

 

And....replaced the backup light switch this morning to get my reverse lights working.

It's on the list of things to do.  Somewhere near the bottom   Comanche has a laundry list of issues to sort.  I got the bench into a comfortable position that the wife and I both can drive the truck.  Next is getting the truck drivable.  I'll sort the bench when I pull it out to weld in the new driver's side floor pan.  Currently I can Fred Flintstone it through the hole in the DS floorpan.

Dragged the truck out of the woods, took a couple pics to sell it.

[Me&my86MJ]

Used the comanche to help a buddy grab some 12 ft 4x4s for a little project.

[Minuit]

Added caster shims to correct it to 7.5 degrees of caster on both sides. It's never held the road better. Also pumped the gas out of it in preparation to fix the gas gauge... for real this time.
