| I looked into a Ferrari washer and dryer but decided I didn’t want to deal with the belt changes.

Matt,
No, it can be done with the hoses already made up with ends on. I did it. Best to put the car on a 4 post lift so you can get it up off the ground and on sliding jack frames. Pull the wheels off. You have to pull all the existing hoses out then stage your pull-in. A good LONG nylon rope, small diameter but STRONG. You have to pull one hose front to back and the other gets pulled back to front... it makes sense when you see the hose ends
I tied the rope to the old hoses so when I pulled the old hoses out, I pulled the rope in. Really helps to have two people. But it can be done with the hose ends on.
While I was set up, I did everything on the other side as well.
I'll see if I can find the pics.

Clyde,
Did you do the install yourself? How did you replace the hose that goes from rear to front? I believe it goes through the door sill (like the heater hoses do on the driver side). The issue I seem to recall hearing about is that you cannot feed the new hose from front to rear with its fittings on, so the fittings would have to be put on after the new hose is fed through.
-matt '85 euro 308 (with A/C that no longer works but would like it working again someday but even better than factory) Buy this kit I have put one in It works great No issues

Peter,
Did you remove one of these lower studs? The compressor clu hangs up badly on the farthest right one? Do you have all the studs in the compressor. I am thinking removing them may be harder as I had a real hard time trying to hold and align the compressor and thread the screws in even with a helper?
Do you bolt on the support before lifting the compressor in place on the tank. I do that to but only can get it laying on it side.
This has never been easy and really having a hard time. I want to take out one of those studs but never had those out before and thinking what could happen if I try….

You are able to remove it from the top? I never could... I always took it out from the bottom (wheel well opening). The gas tank cut out was a convenient table it could rest on while I shimmied my hands underneath that clump of iron (without
squishing my fingers in the process).
With this procedure, I never spilt a drop of oil as it remains more-or-less upright the whole time.
Just cut the fingers off a rubber glove and zip tie (zap strap for us Canucks) them on to the ports. That should keep the oil from leaking out (mostly).

Friends,
Trying to put my compressor back on and forgot that to make this removal/installation easier I lock-tighted the nuts on the studs and put the studs in from the top but to do that you have to put the back one in first before you attach the AC support, which
I forgot to do, so I had to take everything apart again. And of course when the compressor was laying on its side it started leaking out all the oil I just put in it. Is there a screw on cap that you can put on both sides of the compressor outlets to keep
oil from leaking out while installing??? Does anyone off hand know the thread sizes on this york?? The leaking oil is such a PITA I will try to find some caps if available!
I think I've told you before I never plan on using the air conditioner I just want it on for appearances. If so do I really need much oil in it??? On the GT4 this thing is really hard to get in or out. I've always taken it out from the top but this time I got
out and in from the bottom, but boy there's no room to do this easily because it holds up on one of the studs which catches on the clutch assembly as it has to turn a little bit to get it in position and that starts pumping oil from the crankcase up to the
outlets...
