Does the A/C still work on this setup?

Just wondering if the A/C still works with the 16v head and 20v bottom end. Do you have to do something special or will it work just fine? Connect 20v compressor to the lines? or is still the 16v compressor. let me know. thanks!

Just double check that the a/c bracket you plan to use mates up properly to the block. IIRC, mine (AW11 or AE92? Can't remember anymore...) had 1 or 2 of the mounting spots just off and needed just a few washers sandwiched between the it and block to bolt up "flush".

So you used the 16v compressor with a modified bracket on the 20v block. Thanks Jonas.

I believe the bracket I used was off the AW11 where the a/c belt tensioner was part of the a/c compressor bracket (I had already gone manual rack and ditched the power steering goods already).
