.... 72 & 73 MY's VPC AC dealer brochures - cont....
 . These are pix of the 2 "modern" AC systems offered by AutoAtlanta & designed by the original VPC/DPD designer, but use a more efficient compressor & runs on R134 Freon. I couldn't get my link from AA's pdf catalog to go to the item on their website anymore (they must've changed their system & not the links), but try them online or by phone if this is of interest.   . Credit where credit is due - all of these pix collected by me were from Jeff Bowlsby's excellent 914 website, and you should take time to peruse both his & the p914 websites for great 914 info..... http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/ http://www.p914.com/ . I found them when I was researching putting AC into my 73 914-2.0 in the resto, but ultimately decided against since it wasn't originally equipped from the dealer that way (but I may change my mind at a later date). I prefer the balanced look of the DPD under dash unit in the cockpit, and the spare fitting over the conical evap. unit without losing space in the front trunk (as the VPC unit loses several inches in height). My plan was to retrofit a modern R134 unit into the DPD dash & front trunk housings/shrouds (or at least the vent/controls fascia unit) for the correct period look, with "modern" efficiency & cheaper & environmentally friendly R134, but I didn't go far enough to check that retrofit's feasibility yet. So be proud of your unique 72 914 with AC, and tend to fixing any rust or poor workmanship issues with its installation, any operation problems, etc. - assuming it's a dealer installed VPC or DPD - or if you just like having AC in your 914 & like to cooly smile at your fellow Teeners sweating in their non-AC purist 914s on hot days!
