I'm familiar with the factory DPD/VPC setups and also those from ICEAC and Vintage. The question I have is if anyone has put A/C into their car without cutting the floor out of their front trunk? Basically, is there a way I can get A/C into my car without cutting out major sheetmetal?

Thanks,
Jason

Jason, basically your options are limited on these cars on where to locate a condensor. Up front is the best place to get the coolest airflow and I don't know of anyway to mount it effectively without cutting holes in the trunk. The rear wheel wells might work but air circulation would be a lot worse and the condensor exposed to debris flying off the tires, unless you could shield it somehow. The rear trunk means cutting holes again, and it's a hot location close to the engine.
