AC Kits AC Install Help

Hi... I'm installing AC in my '87 pickup using the AC Kits kit. Installation instructions are not very clear and I'm having trouble understanding where the receiver dryer is supposed to be mounted given the lengths of hoses provided. If anyone has the AC Kits kit, could you send a photo?

Update... I'm burning the instructions. I put the condenser exactly where instructed and no way is there room to connect the hoses. When I'm done I'll post my own instructions here to help anyone else that decides to take this project on and so their engine bay doesn't look like swiss cheese with abandoned holes like mine.

Is this a universal type of kit or is it made for the toyota trucks?

It's made for our Toyota trucks and evaporator was a nice fit. Everything inside looks and functions 100% stock. Within engine bay it's aftermarket components with all flex hoses routed different than stock flex + rigid. It's actually a nice kit just horrible instructions.

Shem, it was about $1500 and contains everything you need. There is a "request quote for aftermarket ac" form on the website ... Fill that out and they'll get back to you right away. Yes, will post photos later.

Some photos; I'll post more photos of installation along with tips later. I am very pleased with this system; mid-80s outside in LA today but nice and chilly in the truck; this thing blows very cold.
