Starting April 1988, a running change was made to the evaporator housing and introduced into production.
To prevent cracking, the body attachment points have been relocated.
Evaporator housings are now available through the parts depot and come as a multiple supersession with the following items:
1 evaporator housing (color coded)
2 mounting brackets
2 shims (color coded)
6 rivets
6 body plugs (color coded)
6 bolts
Installing
^ disconnect battery
^ remove front A/C control assembly and center vents
^ remove both rear side covers a C pillars
^ remove both outside vent covers
^ remove relay assembly from left C pillar and all tie wraps holding A/C lines
^ remove evaporator housing fasteners and lower housing
Note
Discharging the A/C system is NOT required due to the length of the evaporator hoses. A cherry picker with a protective cover helps in lowering the evaporator housing.
^ bolt brackets to new evaporator housing and lift into position
^ with the evaporator firmly positioned against the roof, work through the speaker holes, mark location of new bracket attachment points approximately 40 mm (1.575 in.) above the original holes

Note
Rivets can be installed using Kent-Moore tool # M-39010.
