4.9L Air Conditioning System

Only PART of this R-12 condenser has parallel flow (between the 3-way joints on the driver's side), but this is NOT a parallel-flow (R-134a) condenser.

This is a mixed-&-matched system. The condenser might be '83; the liquid line certainly is '83; the evaporator could be almost any year '80-93; the accumulator & low pressure switch are the R-12 types; the compressor, shutoff valves, & (repaired) hoses are '88. R-134a service ports use rubber balls (which are easily cut) instead of Schraeder valves; the conversion fittings are F3AZ-19E762-A & F3AZ-19E762-B.

Like all '80-96 F-series/Bronco systems, it can be removed & installed while fully sealed & charged.
