lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
these items:
. Apply sealant to the grommets
. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet hoses.
Make sure that the hose clamps are secure.
. Loosen the bleed bolt on the engine and refill the
radiator and coolant reservoir with the proper
engine coolant minure (see section 10).
Tighten the bleed bolt when all the trapped air
has escaped and engine coolant begins to flow
from it (see section 10).
. Connect all cables and make sure they are prop-
erly adjusted (see page 2'l-271.

Replacement
lf the compressor is marginally operable, run the
engine at idle speed, and let the air conditioner
work a few minutes. Then shut the engine off.
Recover the refrigerant with a Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System \see page 22-22).
Remove the power steering pump (see section 17).
NOTE: Do not disconnect the hoses from the power
steering pump.
Disconnect the condenser fan connector.
Disconnect the compressor clutch connector, then
remove the compressor clutch connector and the
clips from the condenser fan shroud
Remove the two mounting bolts and the condenser
fan shroud.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the radiator fins
when removing the condenser fan shroud.
