Title: AC Compressor - Serpentine to V-belt
Post by: Edahall on October 07, 2011, 12:08:32 pm

I've got a serpentine type AC compressor from a 1999 Tahoe that I would like to convert to V-Belt.  How can I do this?

For those who are wondering, I'm taking the 6.2L diesel out of my Suburban and putting it into the 1999 Tahoe.  Yes, I know that it would be best to find a serpentine setup from a 6.5L diesel 1996 and newer but those are far and few between.

I don't think there is a option to use other engine pulleys other than the 6.5L.  I looked for this same info as I wanted to add AC to my CUCV 6.2L.

You could always mock up some brackets with some pulleys, but....

OK, yes they do make the compressor with either a serpentine OR a Vbelt.

The brackets ARE available.  You just need to know who sells them.  I'm unsure what I can and cannot post as far as who sells this stuff.  If you need that info, drop me a line.

Also, I own several CUCV's and one 1991 GMC Suburban.  Only the Sub has A/C because I don't want to mod mine.

But if you want, it HAS been done - guy called Devilman96 did a TON of stuff to his M1009 CUCV

There is only one place you cannot mention, and they have letters in their name..

OK, then try Vintage Air.  They USED to have one that fit a diesel with two alt's.

Haven't checked lately.
