“The Pro6TEN compressor offers a unique opportunity to maintain a reasonably original appearance and allow enthusiasts to update their vehicle to a newer (134A) refrigerant by using it along with one of our STV, POA, or VIR eliminator update kits,” says Clint Millican of Old Air Products. We have heard that in some instances, the hose mounting on the back of the compressor has caused issues for some with the rear bracket that goes between the compressor and the intake manifold. The original A/C hose and manifold assemblies will connect to it just like the original A6 compressor," says Millican. "The Pro6TEN has the same style GM Pad mount on the rear of the compressor. The Pro6TEN will bolt directly to the factory A6 brackets, and utilize the factory A6 compressor manifold (hoses). The aluminum body of the Pro6TEN is 52-percent lighter than the original A6. That in itself allows for increased fuel mileage and improved engine and cooling system performance. It is a highly efficient compressor that offers smoother, quieter operation, than the stock A6 unit, and creates less vibration and engine drag. If you paint it black, it would probably be unnoticeable to the casual passerby. This compressor offers the efficiency of a Sanden compressor and retains a stock-ish appearance. This new design is specifically engineered to fit original A6 mounting brackets and A/C hose assemblies. The Pro6TEN compressor is a bolt-in replacement for the GM Frigidaire/Harrison A6 compressor.

One is a reman unit or you can upgrade to the Pro6TEN compressor. “If the customer wants to maintain an original stock appearance with an original R4 compressor, we strongly recommend purchasing a new R4 compressor from a local supplier or replacing it with a Sanden-style compressor.” If you’re are replacing an A6 unit, you do have choices. “We do not stock any R4 compressors and do not recommend using a remanufactured R4 compressor,” states Clint. When it comes to replacing a factory R4 compressor, you have a limited option. Paint it black, and the casual passerby is none the wiser. The Pro6TEN compressor (left) is a great bolt-in replacement for the A6 style compressor. On also brings the fuel economy of your car down.As parts for older vehicles began to get harder to find and government regulations for automotive refrigerants made it difficult to repair factory A/C systems, Old Air Products started manufacturing many new replacement parts such as hose assemblies, evaporator cores, blower switches, vacuum actuators, and control cables.
