The accumulator mounts to the cross member running above the steering rack. It helps to have the hard lines extending from the evaporator. This aids in placement for the accumulator. Once the rivet inserts are drilled and tapped, the accumulator bolts to the cross member. These hoses are very tight. amd when I ran them through the tunnel to where the compressor should mount to the accessory rail for the engine, they come up short. I figure sometime early next summer I will nee to splice in an extra foot or so to give everything enough slack.

Initial mount inside the forward arear above the hard lines running into the tunnel from the radiator.

Hose lines hooked up.
