Here's another one I'm wondering about. How hard is it to fit something like this in my 1972 914? Is it worth the effort and cost? It does get hot here in Northern California. Will my 1.7 handle the compressor?

The evaporator (thingy that bolts under the dash), condenser (thingy that sits in the trunk floor)and wiring harness are the three most important items.
I didn't see the drive pulley that must be mounted behind the fan to drive the compressor. You would need to purchase a new filter/dryer, hoses and rebuilt a/c compressor. The type of a/c compressor fitted is the old "York" standup, is inefficient and is R12 (very expensive Freon in CA..like $50 per pound and you will need about 3 lbs) It would be better to replace it with a Sanden SD508 Rotary compressor and have the mounting bracket fabricated. This would also change the refigerant to R134A, which is considerably cheaper. Go For It |
