83 242 with 91-92 Orifice tube AC and York compressor
Is it possible to use the York compressor with the 91-92 AC system? I know it is not the most efficient compressor, but I am just trying to improve my girlfriend's AC, without needing to change the compressor, while I gather the parts to do the power steering rack and pump.

Did you know that the expansion valve is adjustable? Turn the Allen plug all the way in back out 2 turns. Clean all of the bugs/road trash on the condenser.

Also the heater valve might not be completely shutting off. The Phillips head screw can adjust it..

No you cannot use the York compressor in that setup. There wouldn't be any way to adjust the belt tension. A rebuilt rotary compressor isn't that expensive. https://www.ebay.com/itm/40363814790...MAAOSwfgZicauU
That listing claims to come with the other stuff needed to work on the system.
