A/C conversion to Sanden/R134

[james accordino]

Yeah, thanks Ti.  I was aware of Sanden.  Yes a very
nice looking clean alloy cylinder.  Mounting and
connections require a trip to the hose shop and some
fab.  I just seemed to remember something at a
junkyard that there was a newer, simpler and more
effiecent alternative that was in a mass marketed
vehicle.  I wonder what Nissan, Yokto and Mazda are
running for compressors in their current vehicles?
Anyone know?
