I am interested in one but I already have the compressor and if I am reading the posts correctly a 5m kit does not have the option to exclude the compressor. is that correct? If I can use my existing compressor will the OEM compressor hose connections still work? Also will the fan connect to the old bracket?

What are the differences between the 5M and 7M kits? I would imagine that I have a mixed bag of 5M and 7M oem a/c parts on my car now (but not fabricated and hooked up to run) as it is an original 5M equipped car that now has a 7M swapped in.

So are these 7M kits specifically designed for MK2 owners who originally had 5M's but now have 7M's swapped in? I understand that these will directly bolt on to the motor, but will it bolt on to the original MK2 lines going in through the firewall? Lastly, would it be wise to purchase a new evaporator? Any suggestions on brands for this (I assume this is no longer available via Toyota). Thanks in advance for clarifying this for me.

The kit includes everything starting from the firewall to the compressor. All you retain is the EPR valve (mounted on passenger strut tower), and the front temp sensor.
I do not have experience with the aftermarket evaporators. The definition of OE quality is much different than it used to be.
If I bought an aftermarket, I would have it pressure tested by an AC shop to avoid the re-install cost.
I've PM'd a request for an open Group Buy posting. Waiting for a reply.
Once that starts, there's a few weeks to collect payments, then maybe 4 weeks to get all the parts and assembly completed. At this point, delivery will be certainly be after August.
Whats the status of this? I have to admit, im kinda retarted on ac systems...so some pics and decriptions of parts and a how to would be nice. Im in for a 5m set up.
I may be interested in a 7MGTE a/c kit. Any finalized info or updates on when a group buy may get started? Once started, what is the turn around time for getting them shipped out?
I have not received a reply about setting up the GB since later July.
Though I just discovered a place holder post in the Group Buy section for the AC kit.
Starting this AC GB in September will get tricky. It's a 3 month project including collection of payments.
There's a potential large personal speed hump that will likely occur in November which will impact this project. This could postpone shipments well into December.
At this juncture, it's probably best for everyone (myself included) that the GB start in either December or January. I know this is not
what people want to hear, though I don't want to start a project, put it on hold for an indeterminate amount of time, then complete it.
