Re: Saab AC for 95/96 V4 models
I reactivated the AC in my Sonett which used a smaller micro York compressor, and that still was a power
robber. With the modern compressor it takes very little power and its easy to do with this converter plate.

Then just bolt in a new compressor

set . Many techs of the day didn't bother pulling the timing cover to install the new gear set.A company back
in the day made the kit for various cars,I think the name was Comfort Aire??
