I have a parts car (300D) that I want to strip of most of the vital AC climate control system components. Can anybody provide me a list or tips on what to take?

I think I found one electronic parts... located behind the glove-blox liner? It was to the right, but it has german/mercedes parts numbers on it. I thought that chrysler was the supplier on parts for this system originally? The part number seems to be 412.204/001/002, or 425 19/97... says VDO on it? If it's not related to climate control, can somebody tell me what it is?

OK... So I did a little sleuthing and found this nicely posted manual for the old finicky chrysler system. it give a good break down of components I'm looking for... :

Does anybody know where the ambient interior air-temp sensor can be accessed to start off with?

I think that I did find the amplifier box.. the thing located behind the glove box liner.... a confirmation on this would be good though.

Thanks.

The parts manual may be of some assistance here. Have you looked?

Didn't know there was one available... can you point to or link to it for me?

Thanks.

I think I found the ambient insid air temp-sensor... it was located right below the plastic grill to the right hand speaker in the dash... does this seem right? it looks like a little tube with a capacitor mounted inside and a long whire and plug connected to it...?

I've had fair luck putting a part # in Google and finding names, pictures, and prices.
