Yeah, I'm a noob here so maybe there is a thread that you can point me to.
I'm in the planning stages of doing a car conversion and since I live in the Houston area there would be about 6 months that I need ac of some sort. I'll probably be using an RX-7, Miata, or MR2 so I won't need tons of cooling. I've seen some 1.5 hp motors for running the ac compressor and power steering pump. Do these work or is that inadequate for this work load?
Also, do I just build a new bracket system for mounting the existing compressor and pump so that the existing plumbing reaches adequately?
I have a small machine shop (drill press, cut-off saw, MIG welder, etc.) so I could custom-build the brackets.
