Never done it. Like Absinth says... Wind the window down. It'd be nice to have A/C on those killer days, but half the fun is watching the fuel gauge go down and the temp gauge go up...
In saying that, I did grab an original under dash unit from an early HQ and am selling it if anyone is interested? Just the unit from in the car, nothing from under the bonnet as it was all 6 and I have an 8.
It took me 4 hours to pull an integrated system out... I reckon it would take a week to put one in.
Windows down here :knockout:
Howdy air con experts.
Here are some pics of the air con in my sandy. Its hard to get good photos but you should be able to get the idea.
Just wondering what anybody thinks of these?? Its already there but appears to have the engine bay parts missing. Is it worth trying to get going? I also have a full factory set-up but restoring this POS might be easier...
Can anybody tell me what Im missing from the engine bay? Cheers.
This is under the dash and those 2 hoses go through the firewall into the engine bay. (to nowhere...ha)
Half of the glove box space is blocked off. But that doesnt really matter all that much.
In the engine bay theres two hoses that just go nowhere... Just spaghettied around my gas mixer. Do they just go to the normal compressor setup?

Yeah, Absinth doesn't believe in air conditioning.

Nah pussies use a heater in winter, real men use A/C in summer!In my opinion...... you guys are a bunch of pussy's... geez, grow a pair and wind the window down to listen to that sweet V8 rumble with the wind in your hair...
I have my car's A/C on year round in Newcastle area. Only time I turn it off is when the outside air gets below 17deg as the A/C then starts blowing hot air and I can't stand hot air blowing on me!
Im the same Byron. Must say that I do love having dual climate control. Missas has it on 25 I leave it on 17.
Keeps us both happy.
nothing worse than hot air blowing on you!
