      Bill, to answer your question easily (if thats possible) Yes our system will work with a stock LS1 compressor. We prefer that you don't use the stock compressor because it is a variable displacement compressor. Im sure you are aware of this because you are asking the question. With a variable displacement compressor it does just that, varies the displacement of refrigerant it pumps. The Variable Capacity Piston Compressor (SDV) was developed to meet the current and future needs of OE car manufacturers. The compressor displacement is varied by changing the angle of the cam, which in turn controls the refrigeration capacity to meet air-conditioning demands at all operating conditions, basically a gas mileage benefit. Once cabin temperature approaches desired temperature, the Compressor can afford to reduce its capacity. This avoids clutch cycling and maintains a constant lower outlet temperature, basically not using a freeze-out thermostat. Not to bore you any longer we can use your compressor, I can elaborate more on using your stock compressor if you wish.


      Thanks Mike

      I was under the impression that 1234 was in service overseas already, as in required to run it. Is there another refrigerant aside from 134 and 1234 that is in use in Europe?

      Is there something wrong with your website? It says your AC units well for $1,700 to $1,800. I am curious as to why your plastic box with a coil in it and a fan stuck on the side is 3 times more money than anyone elses. A complete kit from classicautoair (we will keep this within the company) for a 69 Camaro sells at $1,425, so why the big number on the vapir and haymaker?

      If the quality is better than VA, i would pay more for the RA stuff.
      A friend of mine bought the VA system for his custom 54 mercury, not impressed by it.
      It looks and feels cheap.
