The blower assembly (fig. 86) is mounted to the dash

panel and contains the outside air-recirculated air

diverter door, the heating-cooling diverter door, the air

conditioning relay and resistor, the compressor actuating

switch, and the blower motor.

attach the nuts to the case studs through the firewall.

10.
Reconnect the four vacuum hoses as follows: Purple

to the cylinder on the thermo-vacuum valve, yellow

tracer to the body of the thermo-vacuum valve, red

tracer to the vacuum source "Tee" connection, and

white tracer to the vacuum tank inlet.

Vacuum Tank

The vacuum tank is mounted on the firewall as shown

in Figure 97. Notice that the two vacuum lines are

clamped to the vacuum tank ports. *

Thermal Vacuum Valve

This heat operated vacuum valve is located in the

heater core input line. Figure 98 illustrates valve instal-

lation with clamps attaching the water hoses as well as

the vacuum hoses in place.
Resistor Assembly

Figure 99 illustrates the location and installation of

the blower speed resistor assembly.

Relays

Two relays are used in the system, both mounted on the

evaporator case as shown in Figure 100. The mounting

bracket forms a common ground for the relays and as a

plug for the hole in the evaporator housing used in the

Four Season system for resistor installation.

Sensors (Thermistors)

Ambient Switch and Sensor

This combination unit, which engages the compressor

clutch at about 40°F and also senses outside air tem-

perature and sun load, is mounted to the firewall within

the engine compartment with its long neck extending

deep into the cowl vent plenum chamber. Figure 98 il-

lustrates this installation,

In-Car Sensor

This sensor is located beneath the lip of the instru-

ment panel overhand just to the right of the driver as

shown in Figure 101.

Removal

1.
Remove glove box assembly.

2.
Disconnect sensor wires connector at harness.

3.
Remove sensor mounting screws, remove sensor

and pull wires and connector through hole in dash.

use when inspecting a damaged vehicle equipped with air

conditioning.

1.
Remove the drive belt. Cut belt off if necessary.

2.
Visually inspect the condenser, receiver-dehydrator,

compressor, mounting brackets, conditioning unit, all

connecting lines, and all controls to determine the

extent and nature of the damage.

a. No repairs, such as soldering, welding or braz-

ing, should be attempted on the condenser be-

cause of its construction. If the vapor passages

in the horizontal tubes or return bends or mani-

folds have been damaged in any way, the con-

denser should be replaced with a new one.

b.
The receiver-dehydrator should be replaced if

there is any evidence of its having sustained

either internal damage or a fracture at any of

the lines or welded joints or if the system has

been exposed to the atmosphere for an undeter-

mined period of time.

c. Examine the compressor for any visible external

damage.

d. The evaporator should be examined for damage

and, if necessary, removed or replaced or the

entire unit processed where damaged or exposed

to the atmosphere.

e. All connecting lines and flexible hoses should be

examined throughout their entire length for dam-

age.
If damaged in any manner, replace with new

lines.
f. Check all controls and connecting wires for

damage and replace with new parts where needed.

g. Check the clutch pulley for proper operation and

freedom from damage.

3.
Install gauge set.

4.
Purge the system. Pressure should not exceed 3 to

5 pounds.

5. Remove the compressor from mounting and remove

the oil test fitting.

6. Pour out the oil into a clean glass container and ex-

amine it for any foreign substance such as dirt,

water, metal particles, etc. If any of these are

present, the compressor and receiver-dehydrator

should be replaced and the other system components

should be flushed with liquid refrigerant.

7. If the oil is clean and free of any harmful substance,

replace oil with Frigidaire Oil available through

Parts Stock.

NOTE:
If the system components have been

replaced or flushed, replace the full charge of

oil. If not, add no more fresh oil than was

drained in Step 6.

8. Charge up the compressor to drum or can pressure

and leak test the compressor seals prior to in-

stallation of compressor.

9. Reinstall the compressor and evacuate the system

by following the Evacuating Procedure.

FUSES

A fuse, located in the junction block protects the entire

air conditioning system except for the blower when op-

erating at high speed.

A second fuse, to protect the high speed blower circuit,

is located in the electrical wiring between the horn relay

and the Air Conditioner relay (except Universal). The
Universal unit has a fuse in the line between the ignition

switch and the Air Conditioner blower switch. See the

specification page for the proper replacement fuse.

FOUR SEASON HEATER COMPONENTS

Corvette

The heater components of the system are, in general,

much the same as those of the standard Corvette heater.

Heater hoses carry the engine coolant to the heater core,

located in the air distributor duct beneath the instrument

panel.

A significant difference is that in the Corvette Air

Conditioning System there is no flow through the heater

core until the COOL IN-HOT PULL knob is pulled out.

This movement opens the vacuum switch on the air

distributor assembly and allows vacuum to be applied

to the water valve mounted in the engine compartment,

opening the valve. Thus the heater core is unheated

until needed, at which time it receives full flow of the

engine coolant. Air passing through the core receives

maximum heat which is tempered by mixing with un-

heated air before entering the passenger compartment.

Heater Core

Replacement

The heater core in the Corvette Air Conditioning

System is removed in the same manner as the core in

the Corvette heater. The distributor assembly must first

be removed from under the dash as covered previously

in this section before the core can be removed and

replaced.

Water Valve

Installation of the water valve is illustrated in Figure

113.
An inoperative valve must be replaced.
