:confused Has anyone retrofitted an early C3 with factory A/C? :confused
What are the top five areas of difficulty? ... and what would I be in for?
Here's why I ask ... I'm considering purchasing another early C3 ... but this time it'll be a roadster. I'm currently looking at a yellow 71 roadster but it does not have A/C. I'm also looking at a yellow 69 roadster w/o A/C. And yes, here in the Carolinas I really need A/C.
I know how to retrofit the stuff forward of the firewall (the easy part). But I don't know about the ductwork/boxes on the firewall or anything else under the dash and in the console and elsewhere inside the cockpit.
I'm not interested in an add-on ... I want true retrofit. Folks that have done it or had it done or otherwise have intimate knowledge of a factory retrofit ... please educate me.
