Part 1: Installing the Compressor and Oil Cooler
1.1 Preparing for installation
1. Disconnect the batteries and remove the battery from the drivers side box.
2. Drain the coolant from the radiator.
3. Remove the OEM fasteners from the coolant expansion bottle and move it out of the way.
Do not disconnect the hoses from the bottle (Figure 1.1).
4. Loosen the clamps holding the left intercooler tube at the air intake on the engine and at the
intercooler beside the radiator and remove the intercooler tube.
11
Figure 1.1
5. Remove and discard the plastic cover and attaching nuts from the center top area of the
engine (Figure 1.1).
6. Remove the OEM belt
7. Remove the cooling fan and the fan shroud.
NOTE
Removing the cooling fan will provide additional clearance for removing and installing
components.

8. Disconnect the air inlet horn from the front of the air cleaner and battery box. Leave this
part in place. This is optional for ease of removal and installation. Remove the air cleaner
box and the battery box from the drivers side of the vehicle (Figure 1.2).
Figure 1.2
9. Remove the alternator from its mount and lay it back on top of the engine. Keep the OEM
fasteners for alternator installation.
10. Remove the power steering pump pulley (noting the position of the pulley on the shaft), then
remove the power steering pump from the bracket. Keep the OEM fasteners for the power
steering pump installation. You will require the correct puller to remove the power steering
pump pulley.
11. Remove the power steering return hose from the power steering pump. Remove and
discard the metal portion of the hose.
12. Fasten the pump out of the way or lay it on the frame. Do not allow it to hang from the
pressure hose.
13. Remove and discard the OEM alternator and power steering pump mounting bracket and
the OEM bracket fasteners (Figure 1.3).
14. Peen the edge of the valve cover flat against the cylinder head in the area where the
compressor mounting bracket will attach. This allows the compressor mounting bracket to
sit flush with the cylinder head surface (Figure 1.3).
15. Remove and discard the upper and lower radiator hoses.

17. Remove and discard the 12 mm bolt from lower alternator bracket (lower right side of the
engine) and the 12 mm cap screw (lower left side of the engine) which retain the ground
straps (Figure 1.5).
18. Remove and discard the positive battery cable locating bracket from the same area.
Figure 1.5
19. Clean the front of the engine block thoroughly to ensure that there is no contamination in the
areas where the cooling tank and mounting bracket will fit. If the mounting area is dirty, the
bracket will not mount flush, resulting in fouling of the pulley or belt.
1.2 Installing the oil cooler
1. Install the oil cooler on the engine. Insert the supplied M12 x 30 mm hex head cap screws
and 12 mm serrated washer through the ground strap fittings on the drivers side and fasten
the oil cooler in place. Fit the supplied M12x 80 hex head cap screw with the 7/16 flat
washer through the cooler mount strap and the ground strap on the passengers side. Fit to
the lower alternator bracket where the bolt was removed from previosly, tighten both bolts.
Torque the fasteners to specifications.

2. Place hose clamps on both hoses. Connect the right side cooler hose to the bottom radiator
outlet (Figure 1.7) and the left side hose to the engine block connection. Tighten all the hose
clamps securely.
3. Fit two (2) 4 lengths of 1/2 rubber hose around the transmission line for protection where
they pass the cooler bracket. Use ties to hold the rubber in position on the lines
Figure 1.7
1.3 Installing and mounting components
1. Install the crankshaft pulley using three (3) supplied M10 x 20 mm socket head cap screws.
Torque them to specifications.
2. Install four (4) 3/8” flat washers on the four (4) supplied M10 x 30 mm hex head cap
screws for the compressor mounting bracket. Apply Loctite to the fasteners.
3. Install the supplied VR70 mounting bracket using the four (4) M10 x 30 mm hex head cap
screws (Figure 1.8). Torque them to specifications.
4. Install the power steering pump to the compressor mounting brackets using the OEM
fasteners.
5. Install the power steering pump pulley. The outer edge of the power steering pump pulley
must be flush with the end of the pump shaft.

7. Insert the supplied hose barb into the power steering rubber return hose which is attached
to the brake booster.
8. Install the supplied 3/8” x 11 power steering return hose on the other end of the hose barb.
9. Install one of the OEM hose clamps on the end which will attach to the power steering
pump fitting. Install the hose on the pump.
10. Re-align the power steering hoses to clear the steering column.
The alternator must be mounted 180 degrees (upside-down) from the original mounting
position. Rotate the alternator 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.

1.4 Installing the compressor
1. Apply Loctite to the burred-ends of the three (3) 8 mm studs and thread them in the holes
in the bottom of the compressor. Tighten them securely using two (2) jam nuts.
2. Install the compressor to the mounting bracket using three (3) supplied 8 mm nuts and 5/16
inch flat washers. Use Loctite on these fasteners and torque them to specifications.
3. Remove the M12 x 80 mm hex head cap screw which retains the compressor belt
tensioner. Apply Loctite, install the fastener and torque it to specifications.
4. Remove the 1/2” x 1-1/4NC hex head cap screw which retains the idler. Apply Loctite,
install the fastener and torque it to specifications.
5. Install the OEM belt. Be sure to use the correct routing.
Figure 1.9
6. Install the VR70 belt. Be sure to use the correct routing (Figure 1.10).

7. Install the fan and the fan shroud.
8. Install clamps on the supplied upper radiator hose and fit it on the engine and radiator
fittings.

DOCUMENT 1900586
10. Install the intercooler tube and tighten the clamps. Be sure that the tube clears the back of
the compressor and power steering pump and the bead inside the rubber OEM bellows sits
in the groove properly before tightening the clamps (Figure 1.11).
If the locating rib on the inside of the flexible tube does not seat correctly in the groove on
the intercooler tube, it is possible that the connection will come undone, allowing unfiltered
air into the engine. This can result in engine damage.
