BTW, I tried out my new A/C oil spray deflector shroud on the trip today. It worked great. I got tired of the oil spray on the underside of my hood and inner fender from the A6 A/C compressor. Any one who has a GM A/C car knows exactly what I am talking about. The front seal is a terrible design and no matter how many seals you replace or how many compressors you swap out, they all still spray that line of oil all over your engine compartment.

It took me about an hour to make. I used some extra sheetmetal left over from the old trunk drop-off. I bent it to fit and then riveted two pieces of ABS plastic to the ends like mudflaps. I cut out two slots that align with the existing two upper mounting bolts that bolt the compressor to the bracket. All I have to do is loosen the two bolts a couple turns, slide the shroud between the bolt shoulder and the bracket and then tighten with a 7/16 socket on an extension. Once I get to the show I can easily remove it and look all stock and original again. And the best part is that there was no oil on the underside of the hood or the inner fender. It looks like an invention from Baron Von Franken-shroud but it works great!
