    AC to Air comressor

    anyone done this or is it possible with the rangers AC unit
    i have a 94 ranger 4x4 with air and was wondering if i could do this without having to put another AC off an older vehicle.
    thanks

    He's asking if he can convert his stock a/c compressor to compress air. Answer : I have no idea, I've only used Sandens and Yorks.

    Yes you can.

    You would need a an oiler on the air inlet. This is why most people use the yorks and such.

    Yorks are the older piston-style compressor. They have an actual crank case and wont spew oil everywhere. The newer style compressors are scroll compressors, sort of like a supercharger. They pump the oil throughout your AC system. If you can figure out the oiling issues, converting an AC compressor over to an air compressor is really easy. Put a filter on the low (suction) hose and route the high side to a tank.

    Could even use an oil separator on the high side and route a hose so it drains back into the suction side some how..
