Hey team!
My recently purchased 1988 2.9l Ranger came with a disconnected AC compressor. I'm told the clutch is bad, which is fine. Being from Cali, I'll eventually need to get the truck smogged and I'm told the loose hoses from the (hastily) removed compressor will prevent the truck from passing.
It all seems easy enough is the death verse of noobs.. and I am absolutely that. I'd like to remount the compressor without the belt , then connect hoses back to their appropriate locations. Will I kill the truck and evap system if i do this?
Right now everything is dangling, super sloppy. Heater core also disconnected. I assume some kind of bypass is in place which I'd also like to undo. But one thing at a time.
