Thanks Tony. I've been on the fence about installing a/c. Other than a couple 3 months of "winter" here, the temps generally warrant a/c. I've had some pretty miserable drives in the car, like one trip from here to Lake Tahoe during Memorial Day '92. 7+hrs non-stop, and the 5+ from here, up Interstate 5, and through Sacramento, Placerville, etc. were pretty bad. So part of me wants a/c so that the car can be really comfortable on long drives, or just any time. Although around town I typically have all the windows down and the roof open to show off that poleless roof line. The other part of me wants to keep the car "original" AND not hang 100lbs of extra stuff on the car that I have to work on and around. Decisions, decisions!

Currently looking forward to the arrival of the heater unit, so that I can put the interior back together, have a functioning fresh air flap, and move on to doing some fun stuff, like re-upholstering the tops of the door panels and rear interior quarter panels with the half hide I purchased from World Upholstery.
