Re: 78 AC Compressor

You didn't mention if you were interested in PRODUCTION or SERVICE part numbers. That's important for an item like an A/C compressor. Anyway, the PRODUCTION part number for most 1978 Corvette applications was GM #1131078. For L-48s with THM-350 and without California or high altitude emissions, it was GM #1131076.
The current SERVICE part number for the compressor is GM #1134352. This is a NEW compressor assembly with clutch. It carries a current GM list price of $405.37.
You can also obtain rebuilt units from Delco under Delco #15-2232 (with clutch) or 15-2201 (without clutch).In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top

Re: 78 AC Compressor
Thanks, Joe!!! You have answered my question and then some. I was looking for the correct original number. The info on the service unit is helpful too. By any chance do you know what the application of 1134354 is? Someone told me it was a replacement for the orig 1131078!?!
TIA

That's exactly what it is-----a current replacement for the original. That's why I mentioned the part number. Of course, it likely has a lot of other applications, too. However, it's the correct current replacement for your application.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top

Correction

I mis-typed the part number of the SERVICE compressor in my first response. The number should be GM #1134354 for your application which replaces the original part number 1131078.
It just so happens that GM #1134352, which I incorrectly typed, is actually an A/C compressor, too. However, it's applicable to some 85-87 GM models and no Corvettes.In Appreciation of John Hinckley- Top
