My 75 1.8 has dealer installed AC. Of course it doesn't work. I really don't need it either. Question is should I keep it? It was dealer installed not factory as with all of them, so it won't be on the Cardex. In my opinion is it's just taking up space. I have another trunk floor I can weld it when I take the condensor out. The bigger question is work much work will removing everything be?

I was in the same boat with my '74. I pulled all that junk out, patched the holes, etc. Car lost 67 lbs. doing it! That's a plus right there. The only component I kept was the interior vent console, as I think it makes the dash look more substantial and it's needed to retain the shorter center instrument console (which is superior to the tall one because the gauges are angled toward the driver). However I did remove all the internal guts of the vent console (blower, etc.) Pull it!

It gives a lot more air circulation than the standard ventilator. All the rest is out and I don't regret it. |
