Thread: ‘73 air conditioner question

  1. #1

    ‘73 air conditioner question

    Hello, I have a ‘73 911S that was a special order car for Puerto Rico with options for the car listed as “for Puerto Rico”. The air conditioner looks to be original. York compressor, red hoses, front condenser with crash bar, a condenser in the left front wheel well BUT no condenser on the rear deck lid. Can this be correct? Did my car lose its rear condenser along the way? The plumbing looks like it’s not been moved but the coil is mounted on a bracket that lowers it from the deck lid to make room for a condenser. Go figure!
    This is my first post. Advice on posting appreciated.

    Is there a trick to adding pics?

    Are there any holes in the rear inner fenders where A/C hoses would have come thru to the engine bay. Very early SWB A/C systems did have a l/f fender mount condenser.

    Did the car have a rear wiper? The wiper linkage is said not to have cleared deck condensers, so maybe if a car had both rear wiper and A/C they fitted a fender condenser instead?

    How did they fit a condenser in the left front wing? No fuel evaporation system? You have an additional condenser under the front spoiler?

    Well, posted pics successfully but they're every which way but right side up. Bottom pic is inside rear left fender showing copper line going thru fender wall into engine bay.
    Middle pic shows hose from compressor to copper line.
    Top pic is upside down but shows copper line with white insulation running across bulkhead to hole in fender.
