Does anyone have any recommendations with aftermarket stuff?
I do not want to use the OEM stuff due to age, rust etc.
I'm planning on using the stock 3.2 compressor and cutting the firewall.
I just need to figure out the under dash unit, evaporator etc..

Any help, experience and ideas would be much appreciated.

regards,

Steve

I know Renegade sells an underdash unit, and it can even include a heater core (for water cooled conversions). They say it works best, does anyone have one? I myself am considering theirs, and was wondering if anyone here had one.

These guys used to do AC installs on 914s: http://www.scottsind.com/scotts.htm. I just checked their site, and it says they don't carry anymore. Might be worth a call.

Stupid DNS is having problems or I'd find a link to the article directly..... Go to http://mail.dgi.net/914 and look in the Tech Articles for "one COOL 914-6" for how one guy did the install.

...Rats. Nope, that's now how you get there. I think Cooley posted a link to an archive of the site, so he may still have it on-hand. Mike??

Has anyone put the unit from Vintage Air in a 914?

No but I was thinking about it.

You go first!

It sure seems like you could run a double condenser setup in the grills of a early bumper car. Maybe the "mini" vintage air unit could be fit into the existing location?

Here is an under dash evaporator from Hot Rod Air.



I have talked to them several times and they were way more helpful than Vintage Air. HRA is located outside San Antonio.

I plan on using this evaporator with a rotary compressor and HRA's remote condensor,

Thanks alot for the help.

I will check out the links and next time i'm in Vegas I will drop by Renegade Hybrids and check out his solution.
I was also curious about Griffiths solution

He has a condensor that fits in the fender.
I'm curious if it would fit in the right rear fender.

Ooh, could you take pics of the renegade one when you see it? I forgot to even look at it when I went there (oops).
