Who has a York Compressor mounted and running?

Not too much on here about the York. A lot of questions but not many with it mounted and running. I could realy use some pictures and some ideas. I am neck deep in this now and want to get it done. I am having problems with the a/c lines and radiator hose. What did you do?
I know mad xj has it on his site and I have read that over and over. I want to know if anyone did it differently. I'm sure I will get it mounted up but I am trying to skip some of the problems.
I had my york mounted up on my YJ and that was cake. This is turning out not to be as easy.

I can't offer any suggestions, but I am interested in this as well. Please post up pictures when you get it figured out.

Here ya go...











I had this setup mounted on my old cherokee. I just made an adapter plate to mate the york and factory saden braket together. The radiator hose is a factory peice off of a 89' cherokee...

Not to be a butt about it but did you even read the thread?

Did the pics help you out any JW?

Okay I got my compressor mounted, my battery moved and my hard line run into my filter. I bent the a/c lines the best I could and got them out of the way. On the radiator hose I took the end off that is on the radiator and cut off about 2" of it and put it back on, works great. The fan I took off, ran the studs out a bit more, put on three washer on each stud and put the fan back on. My bracket is made out of a piece of I beam that I had laying around. Cut it up and made it fit. It also worked out great.
I also went to walmart and picked up a retractible real that has 30' of hose on it and mounted that to the passenger side fender. After a lot of modifying I got it to fit and bolt down. Now I just need to fix it so that I get the hose out the back under the tail light. I will have lots of pictures when its done.
I put my battery in the back on the passenger side. I ran 1/0 wire to the front under the trim and then out the fire wall. Ran my ground to the body and then up front the body to the block all with 1/0. That worked out good also. I just need to figure out how you are supposed to tie the battery down in the box.

Tomorrow I will mount up my tank and run my tubing from the filter to the tank and to my reel in the back. Also I will hook up the pressure switch and a gauge inside.

I should have some pictures tomorrow or the next day when everything is in.

No, I have a/c so things where a bit different. I also ran a v-groove pulley w/double pulley on the alternator. But I am sure someone else will be able to use them, thanks though! Did you mount a tank anywhere?

Yeah I got an air tank (about 5 gal for their air breaks) off of a new mack truck that had been totaled. I actually have two of them if you need one just make me an offer.

where did you mount the tank? I have only found room for a 2 gallon tank.

I'll post a pic up tomorrow.

My brother has a York, but not for a 4x4.

He's is in the process of installation on a lowrider.

Here are a few pictures.





The tank that I used was a 2 gallon tank off of a cheapo compressor that I took apart. It takes about 30 seconds to fill from 0 to 145 psi. All I realy have left to work on is my hose reel.

wait, how did you work the pulley's? ones is V and the other serpentine. I'm going to do something very similar except I'm putting the bat where ur hose is, after I dynomat that area. I just finished folding up the rear quarter panel and that area is sealed. Just gunna beaf it up and mount an optima or something.

I ran a double pulley on the alternator and run a v belt to the clutch on the compressor. Kilby enterprises is the only place I could find one. onboardair.com

i was searching this topic late one night and found a big rig site where they had serpentine pulleys for yorks. Can't remember where tho

Here is a link on PBB that has a site where you can order the pully

You can also get it from NAPA Part # 948435 but it costs more.

EDIT: incidentally I have a setup like jwtrapper's I looked into a serpentine setup but with the OBW it was going to be a pain so I just added the conversion pully and mounted the York.

I love you in a Jeep kinda way! And they are just in Bakersfield, 45min away. But the $8 in shipping aint too bad. Sweeeeet. Conversion pulley??? To the AC right? How's that work?

Did you guys take any pics of the brackets that mount your compressor to the A/C compressor? I am looking to do this and could use some ideas on how to make the brackets.

I just lucked out and found one of these in my alfa romeo parts. gonna need the part numbers out of this thread.

I like the serpentine idea more than the V belt. ease of replacement and all.
