I transplanted a whole a/c set up from a v8 hz Stato to my hj pano. Not hard just a bit time consuming and fiddly. I had everything bar the Sandan compressor from the HZ so i used a mates compressor from a VL Commodore. Easy fit after i made the bracket out of 8mm plate. I used that compressor because it was offered to me for free. Its fun.!!!?

Thanks Mark,
Yeah just waiting for some good weather (??) to get the clear coat on. Seats done, door skins and arm wrests bought, Chrome all re-done and ready to put on. Need to order carpet and underlay (think I may have that sussed now though) and just trying to find the right donor car for air con and dash controls. It's been 12 months off the road now, just can't wait to drive around again!!!

EFI bracket is no good as it puts the compressor where your steerig box is.

Just get a 253/308 V8 bracket and pulley off a HQ-HZ.

Note, if you can get the WHOLE car (6cyl HZ), or get the whole firewall cut with all A/C on it. Get the LHS inner guard too. That way you can leave it all intact and swap it over a bit at a time. You need to drill 6 x holes in the body: 1 x 32mm for the harness, 3 x overlapping 16mm for the heater hoses (there are guides for these on a non-A/C car) and 2 x small screw holes for the A/C air supply and blanking plate under the dash. There is also holes needed in the radiator support for the condensor hoses (overlapping holes, guides are here too to show you where to drill).

As always Byron, your a wealth of info and a lot of us uneducated learners would be lost without your help. Thanks.
I might try to get a V8 donor, so it's all a bit more straight forward.
