hi, im stuck at the moment. im fixing up my seirra to sell, and just wondering the value of having an endless air (via a/c compressor) system on it. i have 90% of the bits to do it, and would rather not sell the kit seperatley, but i want to know if its worth my time doing it?

Do it, you will love it. I run a Falcon compressor and it has lasted around 8 years by pumping a little grease in ever now and then, it is only just now getting noisy.

Why spend time and money setting something up only to sell it? The car isn't worth more money with it installed, so I wouldn't bother - keep it for your next car.
Endless air is a trade mark. Are you using an "endless air" compressor (a converted axial piston Sanden) or do you just have an old compressor sitting around? Most A/C compressors now are vane type, and they just don't work as air compressors. Odds are it won't last long enough go you to even get the system set up.
The idea of an engine driven compressor is a great one though. Even the smallest Endless air compressor pushes about 6cfm and that's so much faster than what most people run.
I'll be looking at running a York when I drop a G16B in my trayback. I used to have one in my Gwagen and it was the business - 9cfm @ 3000rpm.

unless it's going to keep it, then why install it? plus it sounds like it's not going to last....
