RE: IML: Adding AC to a Car

["bill parker" <hemirr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Classic Auto Air is offering a "perfect fit" model for several Mopars, 
although not specifically listed for C bodies.  The set for E bodies does 
include a choice of underdash or hookup to existing in-dash vents, and the A 
body and B body set up is underdash vents, but the evaporator is in a custom 
heater box, not hanging down low like the old underdash units.  If you are 
wanting to go strictly with factory in-dash A/C outlets, the only choice 
will be to replace the entire dash and dash frame, wiring, etc, with that 
from an A/C car, as well as the complete heater box and related stuff.  
Worse,  Mopars from the late 60's and early 70's had a different firewall 
stamping for A/C cars for at least some bodies, so those are a pretty big 
job to put a used factory set up in.
