    I started to post up a big essay on how to do it. Was almost finished when I accidently hit the ESC key. Too lazy to do it again today, maybe later.

    Look forward to that, as my Pano doesn't have aircon either and when I brought it home it was 40c, humid and I drove for 7 hours non stop (fuel stops of course). Air would have been good!!

    IMHO the underdash is the most efficient, then factory intergrated, then the one you cut the glovebox for.

    I agree that the under dash is the most efficient, that's because the fan is blowing straight over the evaporator into the cab and doesn't have to go through ducts. If you are installing a factory one you can insulate the ducts to make it more efficient but you still have the undersized evaporator next to, above, the exhaust. In saying that though i would still prefer to put in a factory system, just don't like the look of the under dash clingons

    I know its 'how long is a piece of string' and all... But how hard is it to install air con?? I agree with absinth that its fine just to have the windows down.. BUT, mine has a crappy under dash/glove box halved unit, that has 2 pipes going nowhere into the engine bay... I also have a complete factory aircon setup sitting in the shed so thought I might get rid of the aftermarket shite and put the factory stuff in...

    Id like to think its a breeze.. (haha get it..?) But probably its more likely to be a world of pain... Anyone done it?
