I have a 1973 2.0 and it came from the dealership with the a/c unit. it currently does not work. I am planning on restoring the car early next year. My main questions is if i remove the A/C unit will that bring down the value of the car.... The only benefit i have from getting it fixed is that i live in Miami Fl. and i like how my car looks with the silver window tint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
