I don't even have the engine work complete and I'm already planning my first upgrade: air conditioning.
The previous owner had an OEM AC controller in a box to replace the heat only unit on the dash, so I plan on using that. I've located an original AC vent and dash panel that I plan on using to make everything look original.
Under the hood and dash I really don't care about original or not, I just want it to work flawlessly and not make the engine difficult to work on. I plan on calling classic auto air and work with them on a set-up for the compressor, bracket, coils and hoses. It looks like they have a replacement plenum to carry the coil and it dehumidifies the defroster as well. That's obviously a desirable set-up.
This is a future project so I have plenty of time. I'd like to see what others have done here and maybe get some input on what works best.
