Check List, Pre-Installation:
Procedures, During Installation:
Before beginning the installation check the shipping box for the correct components. YOUR
BOXED UNIT INCLUDES A LIST OF MAJOR COMPONENTS AND A LIST OF BAGGED PARTS. We have a 5 stage
check process to make sure you have everything you’ll need.
If your vehicle has been or is being modified, some procedures will need to be adjusted to fit
your particular application.
A basic cleaning of the engine compartment and interior before beginning will make things go
more smoothly.
Check condition of engine mounts. Excessive engine movement can damage hoses to A/C and/or
heater.
Drain the radiator. Retain the coolant and reuse, or dispose of properly.
SAFETY FIRST: Wear eye protection while drilling/cutting, deburr sharp edges, and never get in
a hurry or force a part.
Fittings: Use one or two drops of mineral oil (supplied with your kit) on ALL rubber o-rings,
threads and rear of bump for o-ring where female nut rides. Do not use thread tape or sealants.
Measure twice (or more), cut once

VAPIR
SYSTEM
Compact A/C
The air conditioning system in your car is
comprised of a compressor, condenser, expansion
valve, receiver/drier, and evaporator. Refrigerant
(also known as Freon) is compressed in the
compressor and turns into a gas. In the condenser,
this gas is cooled to a liquid state and travels to the
expansion valve. As the liquid refrigerant goes
through the expansion valve it rapidly cools in the
evaporator. A fan blows over the evaporator and cools the
air that blows out your vents. The receiver-drier
separates gas and liquid.
Evaporator with Blower Fan
In order to remove the heat
from the air in the vehicle, the A/C evaporator allows the
refrigerant to absorb the heat from the air passing over it.
The blower fan moves cool air out into the car interior.
Compressor
The compressor pumps and circulates the refrig-
erant through the system.
Condenser
The condenser is a heat exchanger mounted at the
front of the vehicle. Heat drawn out of the interior of the
car is expelled here.
Receiver/Drier
The drier not only dries refrigerant, it
also filters the refrigerant and stores it under certain
operating conditions.
High Pressure Switch
A pressure switch is used to shut
down the system if high or low pressure is detected, basical-
ly it acts as a safety switch.

Within the following pages we will outline the installation steps of your new Vapir system. Since this is a
custom installation and varies based on your particular vehicle, many of our procedures can be viewed as
“suggestions”... and your personal preferences will play a major role in the actual installation.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the heart of your new system, the evaporator case.
