Some 1987 Cavaliers may not have proper clearance between some of the air conditioning hoses/lines and some engine components. This condition can lead to abrasion of air conditioning hoses/lines or melting of hoses if routed too close to exhaust system components.




If any of these conditions are encountered, the air conditioning hose/pipe routings should be carefully adjusted to achieve the following minimum clearances. Refer to illustration.

A/C Muffler to Exhaust--------23.5 mm (approx. 15/16 in.)
Flange Suction Hose to Exhaust-------40.0 mm (approx. 1-9/16 in.)
Manifold Discharge Line to Alternator--30.0 mm (approx. 1-3/16 in.)
