Keep the moisture and contaminants out of your classic A/C system with the Four Seasons VIR Desiccant Bag Kit (P/N 34218), an A/C Receiver Drier / Desiccant Element that services the valves-in-receiver (VIR) assembly on a wide range of 1973-1981 GM and Volvo vehicles. It fits applications such as the 1973-1976 Buick LeSabre, 1974-1976 Chevrolet Camaro, 1973-1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1974-1976 Pontiac Firebird and 1976-1981 Volvo 244 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 47 applications.

  • Filters the system: removes moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — debris that flushing cannot clear, which is why replacing the drier is essential.
  • Desiccant absorption: a desiccant bag absorbs moisture; a leaking or "open" system can saturate the bag within a few hours and leave the drier ineffective.
  • Installation hardware: the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for the job.
  • Built to hold up: produced with quality welds and high-quality desiccant in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility.

The drier should be replaced any time the A/C system is opened for service, and doing so is required to validate the compressor warranty. Backed by Four Seasons' 50-plus years of mobile A/C experience.
