Ah right ok I get ya. Thanks for that. To be honest I'm not sure if Holly's came with abs or not. I'd guess it did though.

Sounds a lot more complicated than I first thought :? Lol
I have the pump and fan from mine. The condenser is that the radiator bit that's behind the dash?

The condensor is the radiator bit that sits at the front of the car, in front of the normal rad.
The evaporator is the matrix that sits inside the heater unit inside the cabin. Yours is missing by the looks, because you have no pipes sticking through the bulkhead into the engine bay.

condensor;

The evaporator is no. 13 in here;

22 and 23 is the rubber gromets for the different feeds through the bulkhead.
15 is the pipework on an ABS fitted car I think.
