[Vwdiesel] Help me out, folks... 1.5D into '88 Fox

And because of the York, you may have to change the whole deal on the 
compressor side- I bet it mounted where the diesel injection pump is 
now.  Look at the body of the car... does the mount land in the same 
spot?  If not, you will have to change the whole shebang.  The mounts 
are easy until you get to A/C.  I put A/C into my caddy, when I 
installed the 1.9td.  The bracketry was a real fun deal.  I wound up 
cutting the gas bracketry so the engine to body connection could be used 
from the old gasser that was in there, which allowed space for the newer 
style radial pump mount and alternator.  Have a look under the hood of 
an A2 JEtta if you get the chance.  I bet the alt and AC brackets are 
very similar to the Q setup, with exception of the motor mount... which 
on the motor mount you may be able to cut away the York part of the 
existing gas brackets to allow separate fitment of the Sankyo brackets, 
AND accomodate the injection pump.
Sound confusing?
heh.
I lived through it, it's not that bad :-)
