Anything is better than the York!

I have the Sanden SD-5 Model #U-9285 on my `83 GTV6. This unit
runs much smoother than the York and doesn't break the a/c
bracket nearly as often.

Be advised, this is NOT a "bolt on" replacement. The bracket has
to be modified to mount this unit on the GTV6 2.5 litre engine.
