Re: stag-Air Conditioning

["Tom Casey" <ragtop88@domain.elided>]

More information on the a/c unit please.  I'm always looking for saving
weight from the front end of my cars....so I don't have to actually lose the
weight.   Where are these available?  Is it just a universal compressor??
Do they have serpentine pulley style?  Website?? Thanks in advance.
