My 74 2.0 has a complete, original, (of course it's not factory..even I know that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) )

The compressor turns on, the interior fan works, the condesor fan runs. It's all there, and I suspect it could be made to run with seals, hoses etc.

I am trying to decide if I should keep the AC in the car or not. I am moving slowly upt he performance/handling ladder, to start with shocks, sway bar, billet hubs, 911 disks etc. I want to auto-x some, having attended alocal novice day and gotten bit by the bug.

My dream is to one day install power by Jake.

I can live without the AC, and I hate the big hole in the front trunk where the condensor is installed. Course if I remove it, I gotta cover that hole....

I live in NC, yes it gets hot, but this is not a daily driver.

Just looking for opinions. What would you do?

And..does anybody want to buy an AC?

Ive shred'ed about 4 so equiped cars and nary a one had such a seal remaining after 30 odd yrs. sticky or otherwise.
I dont get your comment about resale value. Once youve punched as many holes in the chassi as was required back then to install AC (on a Targa car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) ) dont expect to get anywhere near the same value as the exact same car w/o. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Wouldn't that depend on the buyer? My next 914 (I will have two (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ) will have AC for those days that it is just to damn hot & muggy to drive with the top off the car.

And if I had my choice it would be a white & red (orange?) LE car, just to piss everyone off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
