What torque is used on the A/C condenser mounting fasteners?

The diagram calls out two torque specs: 21-55 ft-lb for the larger mounting fasteners and 10-14 ft-lb for the smaller screws.

What is the part reference for the condenser assembly?

The condenser assembly is labeled 19C600 in the diagram.

Is the A/C hose routing different for 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines?

Yes. View A shows hose routing for 8-cylinder engines (with a fitting angle of approximately 45°), and a separate inset shows the routing for the 6-cylinder engine.

Where is the ambient switch located?

The diagram shows the ambient switch mounted on the radiator support panel near the condenser, secured with nut 45264.

This document is a scanned exploded-view illustration of an air conditioning condenser assembly installation, apparently from a Ford factory service manual. The main drawing shows the A/C condenser assembly (part reference 19C600) mounted to the radiator support/front panel, with mounting screws called out at two torque specifications: 21-55 ft-lb for the larger fasteners and 10-14 ft-lb for the smaller screws. Additional callouts identify a nut (45264), the ambient switch located on the panel, and an "Air Conditioning" identification tag. Refrigerant hose and receiver-drier plumbing is shown attached to the condenser. An upper inset labeled "View A" details the hose routing for 8-cylinder engines, noting a fitting angle of approximately 45 degrees, while a lower-right inset shows the differing hose/fitting arrangement for the 6-cylinder engine. A reader can learn how the condenser mounts to the vehicle, the correct fastener torque values, where the ambient switch is located, and how the A/C hoses route differently between 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engine applications.
