I'm in the process of installing a BBC in my Z, while I'm at it I'm cleaning up the underhood wiring and heat / ac lines, tucking them underneath the fenders. I'd like to move the accumulator (receiver/dryer) from its factory position beside the evaporator box to either at the front fender where the battery would be, or up front, beside the condensor.

Will I have any problems with the pressure sensing if I move the accumulator? Since this is a CCOT system, it relies on the pressure sensor at the accumulator to cylce the compressor on or off. Can anyone think of any other problems I might run into if I move it?

Thanks !
