Airconditioning LS swap, 85 to 78 front end swap ???

[Backyard]

Hello new here

I'll jump right in to it. I have a 1985 chevy truck 2wd restomod. I have drove in a 6.0 ls and a nv4500.

I have relocated the Ac pump with ict billet bracket old style pump can't remember the part# I have swapped the front end to the 1978 and used the 78 condenser. The ict billett located the pump on the pasanger side and the line out of the condenser on the driver side. the 85 ac lines are not the correct length and will not work.

Has any one ran in to this simular swap. If so what did you use to make it all come together and is their any other details that I should know.

Thanks

I don't have an answer to your question, but I have one of my own to ask you. What did you do about the difference where the hood stops are on the cab and the holes where the hinges go.

I used the stops off the 78. Worked on the newer cab. The 78 hinges bolt on the fenders. I just removed the ones off the cab that were for the 81-87. The stop you can see in the picture is off the 78 and fit in to thr factory hole. You will also need the older wiper post assembly they are shorter.
