I am working on a Subie conversion and am trying to figure out AC. I live in the desert (Phoenix) so AC will add a lot of usability to the car. Ideally I would like to blow air through the existing vents. I have searched a lot on the forum and see a lot of starts, but few functioning units. I am traveling to Texas today so I am going to check out Vintage Air and Old Air Products to see what products they might recommend for me to modify. Plan two is to hit the Pick and Pulls and search for the most compact evaporator I can find.
Any help or general suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks Ed |

I did one in Jamie Rust's car. And I'll be done another one in the next few months. Once I find my notes, I'll post what car I got the evap from McMark It would be great if you would be willing to share the knowledge, I would love to know the specifics of the evap and the box you put it in. I would even be willing to kick in some $'s to make the project move down the road, especially if you sent me pics. thanks ed |
