Help Me ID This Thing

Please take a look at

A new engine was installed by the previous owner 3,000 miles ago. This might have been disconnected at the time. It looks expensive and possibly useful.

It also looks well beyond my measly mechanical ability to check out and connect up.

i agree with your guess...looks to be an abandoned remote oil cooler...

the other thing would most likely be a charcoal canister(i'm guessing here)

Not an expert by any means.....but combine the canister with the core and I'd say it looks like part of an AC unit....but I am probably way off base....atleast you have a rust-free underside:).....

Jeepers. A $1.00 cup of coffee.

Probably should pry that thing off the bottom. No sense hauling around any more than I need to.

Hiya Mike,

I am also no expert, but I have seen this sort of application before. Air conditioning coils and fan. The little canister is a condensation chamber, I believe.

And you are absolutely correct - the thing should be pulled off the bottom of your bus. It's just dead weight at present.

Absolutely correct - I pulled some identical crap off the bottom of my bus when I got it - had the 2 fans and all. I also removed the second battery, second alternator, AC compressor, not one but 2 inside air units using all the headroom above my young sons bunk in the rear deck, many hoses and electrical connections, switches etc.

I replaced it all with a 12 volt fan on the dash, and I'm cool & happy.

Exlax or Metamusal is supposed to help with that... ;)

I recall seeing those dash-mounted or above-the-windwing-mounted fans from when we had a bus in the late 60's.

I believe this is just the remains of a previously installed air conditioner. What you've shown here is the condenser, freon hoses, and water removal cannister.
