    View the SD7B10 (7176) AC compressor: (Kwik Performance PN 10266-01).

    This AC compressor also requires a manifold style fitting kit




    New AC hoses or new crimp-on fittings on existing hoses will be required to convert from the R4 manifold block to new O-ring style swivel fittings to match compressor fittings mentioned above.
