A/C Compressor Mounting -- Can I Mount it Sideways?
96Mustang460cid September 8th 2011, 11:55 pm
I am getting back to work on my 2003 F150 BBF project. I am going to mount the accessories. One of which is the A/C compressor. This is the OEM compressor for the truck (if it matters).
Can I mount the compressor sideways? Sideways = the A/C lines do not come up out of the compressor...they come out of the compressor towards the fenderwell. I'm not sure if this will cause a problem with the compressor and oil, freon, ect in the system or not...
Have a good day!

The only possible problem I see is oil lubrication issues.
