Someone please spoon feed me and send me on my way. My S50 swap into my 91 318is is basically done. The motor I put in was from my dead race car, so the A/C and brackets were already gone. After searching, I am pretty confused. What compressor E30 or E36? Lines? Converting freon? I haven't found a single thread that tells me exactly what I need. I have an E30 compressor. Help.

E36 bracket and compressor . Have an A/C shop convert your e30 hoses to fit the e36 compressor . This cost me 80.00 for lines . -
Thanks, after I get an E36 compressor and convert the lines, is there any other conversion I need to do? Any other updating? What refrigerent?Comment

I'm also interested. Whats with all the AC crap that goes with the later model cars (96 for my motor)? They have about 6-or-so (?) wires to the DME, BCM, some also run on CAN, Do I even want to go there?
Rigging up the compressor/hoses is OK. Can you then simply wire it up to either have it on/off, Like I understand it was in my old '89 318i? I dont want climate control, just happy to get something colder than outside...
And why does it seem to be so hard to do, that most people just give up?
Yes, I have NO idea about this topic.
Can I sit next to you?Originally posted by mcclaskz View PostComment
