a/c ?'s

[silverbear]

Here is a pic of the two different blower motor boxes that are in the engine compartment. The heater core holes are in a different location and the cores are different. The non A/C heater cores are larger.
a/c on left. Non a/c on right.

There are other items to address during the conversion. The manual vent in the kick panel on the passenger side gets replaced with a actuator controlled one. And there is an additional actuator inside the rain gutter on the passenger side.

Silverbear finally have most of the interior a/c parts installed. Looking at your pic with 2 types of covers, i need the one on the left, the a/c evaporator cover. My question is does the a/c motor get attached to this cover? If so, what cage do i use? The space is too small for the cage that came with the motor. Also do i have to make a bigger hole for the motor and cage? How does the evaporator get attached to firewall, does it get connected to evaporator cover? Thanks for any help frankyjoet

Yes the blower motor will mount to the cover. I can't recall off the top of my head how the evaporator core mounts into the housing except that the dryer canister mounts to the evaporator and the canister mounts to the cover. The cover mounts to the fire wall using the through bolts from the inside air box. Here are a few pictures for reference.

silverbear, here are some pics of the firewall before and after customizing. Note the blower motor is attached temporarily to the firewallwithout the cage. when i get the housing from a bone yard, i'll take that off and attach it to the housing. have a ?, are the evaporator housings interchangeable from the 70's to 80's?

[silverbear]

I know the evaporator housings are the same from 77 to 87. I don't know if anything older than 77 is the same or not.
