Been working on my Red Doc A/C install for a few weeks, thought I'd share what I did and why.

Box came sealed up NOS manufactured in 2006, appeared unopened

Heard a rumor that some kits don't come with the 5 groove pulley but mine did
![IMG_1700.jpg IMG_1700.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/437/437735-0f93d1a02a4d9eccf6be356057618565.jpg)

The card board on the back of the condenser kept the core and fins looking brand new
![IMG_1702.jpg IMG_1702.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/437/437737-5e613d11af3ee8f4904c036bf1fb74cf.jpg)
I flipped the side brackets upside down and fabbed up these base mount brackets.
![IMG_1713.jpg IMG_1713.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/437/437741-263e4f2d420f910be973f14be608733e.jpg)
Made the brackets so they would bolt up to a reinforced part of the fender
![IMG_1711.jpg IMG_1711.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/437/437740-0dc1aa4636a824f2f64c5719a77f9079.jpg)
Kind of a tight fit but I can still get a wrench in there
![IMG_1715.jpg IMG_1715.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/437/437742-b067ec1e4154265c89b9438b4fb89489.jpg)
I spoke with an engineer at Red Dot and told him about my install. He agreed the system is so over engineered that I should be fine with my condensers mounting position being some what restricted. (Portland, OR sees maybe 2 or 3 days a year of 100+ heat)
