Why not just buy the Power By the Hour AC bracket? It's like $60. I've been running my AC for the last 15K or miles or so with that bracket and no issues.
For your oil filter issue
You could probably use a sandwich for the oil cooler.
I used a GlowShift's Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter , it has 3 ports on the side for sending unit and oil cooler .
IIRC it was like 25 bux and does not leak , works great.
Does anyone know what causes the fuel cap warning light? Does it have to do with the Evap equipment for the fuel tank or something like that? Or is it just a wiring difference between the 11-14 and 05-09? Any ideas?
I too was getting the occasional fuel cap light coming on and I've done some investigating. There is a fuel tank pressure sensor that is part of one of the fuel vapor lines by the fuel tank. I checked my work on the wiring, and I did hook up the sensor. However, scanning live data on the PCM shows fuel tank pressure @0psi. I have not gone further testing the circuit as it does not leave a code and it has not come on in quite a while. It may be "off" in my custom tune.
I'm want the car to pass smog legally. And some of my monitors won't complete .......yet....
This input is a 0-5 volt signal, and should never read 0psi. I'm pretty sure this is what is triggering the fuel cap light.
My car never sets an evap code but I do get a Check Fuel Cap warning. The way the system is supposed to work is the purge valve near the throttle body pulls a vacuum on the vapor lines and fuel tank with vent solenoid commanded closed, the fuel tank pressure sensor reports the supposed change in volts around 2.6 and should drop to around 2 volts, if it doesn't see the volts drop the pcm turns the Check Fuel Cap message on. The tune in my car doesn't even opperate the evap system.
Let me know if it works correctly, I have a make shift line in there now when I bypassed the 07 purge and used just the Coyote purge.Made progress on the evap system. I am now using the 2013 purge valve (I had the 07 purge valve hooked up before) I bought the hose for a '13 that goes from the purge valve to the hard line. It's plug& play. (connects under master cylinder). I'm 100% confident that my evap system is wired/plumed correctly, and all the components are good. Cleared the codes, and it is just a matter of driving the car and see if the PCM is satisfied.
