Roof mounted AC.
Just mount it to a spare targa top. It pulls 48 amps, so you will need to put a bigger alternator on the car, but other than that, no mods necessary. Great for those who want to be able to drive in the hot parts of the country, but have an unmolested car. Weighs 75lbs. https://www.amazon.com/Douglas-D20-Rooftop-...mcx_mr_hp_atf_m Clay |

I did this in 1975.
Living in centeal CA the heat was challenging. The downside was the cold air is right on top of your head and shoulder And does not circulate in the cabin very well. I'd also paint the roof a lighter color. |

I'd also paint the roof a lighter color. I would think that the ceiling vents could be configured / remodeled/ redone to blow all the cold air forward toward the windshield, rather than directly down onto the heads and shoulders of the occupants. After all, it’s going to be a custom installation in a 914. |
