Hey cusser quick question you might know better than I do, 1st are the 89 b2200's factory wired for a/c? I see some connectors under the dash where it looks like the evap box connects to but wasn't sure also is there any other electrical wiring components I needed reason I was asking the guy that's been helping me out asked if I needed the wiring harness but I thought these trucks were basically wired to accept a/c? & 2nd will the high side a/c hoses for both the 708 & 508 compressor fit or are they different lines between the 2 thanks man

I'd "guess" that the B-trucks were pre-wired for AC, as all their AC units were added at the dealers in the US, and were pretty nice factory-looking/factory acting units. The difference on the dash is the AC push-in switch, a block off plate is removed and that switch added. I'm not aware of any B2200 using anything but Sanden 708 (there were several types of these, minor differences.

Similarly, these trucks' carburetors had a second unused "cam" that was there in case Mazda cruise control was added, and wiper delay upgrade was simply a different wiper switch.

excuse the 20+ years of gunk haven't de-gunked the parts yet, but in the first pics u can see the lines that were cut to the right of the condenser. dang it! so close but yet so far i guess... oh well ill keep looking oh & another question do these a/c systems for these trucks have 2 pressure switches or just one in the dryer? i have a diagram (didn't know how accurate it is or for what model) but it shows 2 pressure switches 1 in the smaller evap side line and 1 in the dryer? little confused? the lines i have doesn't have a place for another press. switch in the evap line, thanks for the help Cusser

Actually, I can't see exactly where such lines were cut. Anyway, I must say that I've never even seen a Mazda compressor with two separate fittings; and on my 1988, the two short metal lines that attach to the compressor have rubber lines crimped onto them like in that diagram you posted above (#12 and #13). You can see the single attachment bolt and the rubber crimped lines in my photos posted earlier.

As to your question about the pressure switches: damn sure that my 1988 has only one switch, and it screws into the drier, not in the line. Both of those switches shown in your diagram are in the same line - just separated by the drier - and prevent compressor from engaging and doing damage if the refrigerant pressure is too low, don't know why one would need two of those?. And the de-icer/freeze sensing thermostat switch mounts on the outside of the evaporator box #7, and has its sensing tube entering that through a small hole so it's in the air flow.

The hoses were cut off the hard lines.
