<VV> Smog engine with AC/Yes

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Harry,
 
Yep that's the 140 mount.  I had one complete '66 AC system from a 140  
Corsa years back--when I sold it at a Frederick Corvair show there was a  
bidding war between five guys for the package (including the AC Corsa  dash).  
The only time I've had more than one person interested in a part at  one time. 
 But the A.I.R. plus AC mount added more pieces with the  A.I.R. pump below 
the compressor and running directly off a double pulley on the  AC 
compressor--that was driven by the usual belt from the harmonic  balancer.  I've 
seen at least two of them at comventions.

These  elevated compressor mounts were used on the 140 motors to clear  the
secondary carb; '65-'67.
They are highly prized today as they can be  put on ANY engine; makes 
service
to the plugs a  joy.


Mike,

There was a special mount that elevated the AC  compressor so the A.I.R.  
pump could go underneath.  See the  picture in the 1973 parts manual.   The
two 
units shared a  belt IIRC.  I always wondered how much that elevated
compressor  affected the center of roll:)  I worked on two cars with  the
option.  
I probably liked them only a little more than the  average  mechanic.

I  doubt it. The AIR pump sits where the compressor  would have to go, also
another belt, would have to be added to the two on  the pulley in the crank
shaft. besides it is not described in my '69 users  manual.  Mike   K.
