Re: Urq A/C compressor

["ANDREW FINNEY" <DFINNEY@classic.msn.com>]

I can tell you from personal experience that only an UrQ York Compressor will 
bolt in. The 4000 series compressors, although very similar, have different 
inlet / outlet positions that make it necessary to fabricate new lines. The 
compressors are mounted on different sides of the engine.

Along this line, has anyone retrofitted a later 5000 series rotary-type 
compressor in an UrQ? The problem is the clearance in front of the radiator. 
Is there any straightforward AC bolt in, even a Japanese type? The York 
compressor design is a piece of crap. My rebuilt one died in 1.5 years of 
minimal use.  Any ideas on this topic would be appreciated.
