on the 4.0 from 90-95ish there were two types of manifold a/c lines, one that ran in front of the intake plenum with a different drier which was unique to the 4.0 or one that ran behind the plenum just like the 2.9 and used the same drier/accumulator as the 2.9. based on working on the 4.0 in the vehicle which i haven’t much, which is more preferable? the line that runs in front of the plenum or the one behind it? the motor i bought is a 95 so it has the bracket in the cylinder head for the line that runs behind the plenum. advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
edit: i have to get the proper a/c lines for the 4.0 compressor anyways so i’m not in a big rush but i have both options at the junkyard and was wondering which one i should get, they both fit the later model 4.0 a/c compressor with slightly different serpentine belt arrangement
