See post #10 ...

The evaporator is inside the unit under the dash.

The condenser is behind the rear axle with an electric fan to cool it.

Recently I saw a photo of a compressor that someone chose to mount near the EXHAUST manifold on passenger side. I think that is a very bad location.

I would think that the boiling freon will send the pressure sky high and maybe damage the system.

Seems to me that the freon would be boiling in the lines all of the time ... even with AC
compressor turned off.

Also system would not work very well with all that heat being introduced into the the system.
