A few small parts arrived, and more on the way. Still waiting for the two big ones, exhaust manifold and Vmount...
I started getting all of my A/C components in order. I picked up a complete O-ring kit, rebuilt compressor, expansion valve and a new dryer. Spent some time cleaning up the A/C lines. They polish quite easily. Should be ready for a fresh charge of ES-12a

A/C components installed. The expansion valve wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Much of this was from my stripped bay so the outer connections were all ready separated. I used a write-up that was done by a member and it made it a breeze. Gotta love the club!
Compressor and lines are pretty much in place. Of course, I'm waiting for the condensor side to get connected when I install the Vmount. Really looking forward to icey vent temps.
To address my idler pulley, I have had questions about running the idler this way. As you can see, I have essentially bypassed the PS pump and run the belt "rib" down to a flat idler. I have had ZERO issues with this for 6k miles and 3 years. I actually got the tip from another member when searching for a solution. He had ran it that way for a few years as well. The belt has shown no adverse wear.
