I think I have decided to convert my AC on my 90 XJ to an OBA system. I have read a bunch of threads and believe I have a firm grip on what to do. I know most guys use an inline tool oiler/fogger/lubricator to lube the compressor, but I have seen at least 2 builds where they T'ed into the the ventilation on the valve cover instead of using an inline oiler.
I'm seeking opinions on whether the engine oil vapor floating around in the valve cover would provide enough lubrication to oil the compressor. I like the idea of not needing to worry about filling the oiler, but I just can't find much info on it.
Has anybody tried this? If not, whatta you guys think?
