i have never seen a ac system off a gemini so i'm not sure how they are mounted, but you could probably mount it all your self, probably might have to manufacture some brackets or something to mount it , you will need to mount a swith in the dash to turn on the compressor, but to get the thing working you will have to get a refrigeration mechanic to gas it up and change the dryer, if your getting the ac system off another car make sure there is no gas in the system or you will get covered in gas and oil when you start pulling iy appart. and if there is no gas in it that will mean there's a leak in the system some where and you will meed to get a profesional to fix that. oh and you will need new o rings on all the connections. personally i wouldnt worry about it becouse you will probably be looking at a few dollars and a lot off fucking around, just be a man and put up with the heat like the rest of us. but if you do it post a massage i would be interested in the cost of doing it. |

i put one in my td from a te and i didn't even have to undo a gas line. look for one where the condenser lines go through where the radiator sits. |
