69 Charger A/C

[BlueSS454]

Any of you guys have a 69 big block with A/C car? I need to see some pics of the firewall near the blower motor. I need to know where the harness for the blower motor and A/C compressor comes through at and where the 2 vacuum lines are suppose to go.

Hello, here is a close-up of the vacuum and water valve. Hope this helps! Take care, Jeff

the green and blue wires (compressor and blower) come out on the top of the firewall bulkhead connector next to the neutral safety - I believe terminal 'A' is Blue and 'B' is Green

Awesome, thanks guys. That would explain the empty slots in the wiper motor harness then and why the wire ends resemble those that would go in the bulkhead connector.

THe water valve in the picture...Is that a 1970 valve? I have never seen that vacuum pod on a 69 valve. I pulled the valve I have in my car out of a 69 small block Charger in the junkyard and it doesn't have it.

The vacuum control was not used in 69. Was used in 70.

OK, I got the blower motor and compressor all fixed up and working now. I still need to know where the 2 vacuum lines from the heater box that come through the firewall go. I'm gonna have to remove the wires from the wiper motor harness again anyways since I have to send it out to get restored...it doesn't even try to come on. After that maybe I can get the rest of the A/C components and get that working. I have a list of like 10-15 things I need to do to the car this winter.

I think one of those vacuum lines should go to your vacuum canister underneath of the battery tray. The other one would go to the vacuum actuator on the heater valve (at least on the 1970 models).

From what I remember, there was only one vacuum hose on 68 & 69 cars. It connected to the vacuum tee on the intake. In 70 (like the pictured yellow car) there were two hoses. One connected to the vacuum canister on the water valve and the other went to the intake manifold. Maybe your car is a late 69 that had the 70 style with the added valve. Either way, if you have two hoses going through the fire wall, you need the 70 style with the vacuum on the water valve.
The vacuum tank under the battery tray is for extra vacuum to close the headlight doors once the engine has been shut off.
