Re: A/C questions

If a/c is important to you then I would check the Vintage Air electronic system.
There are a couple of threads here from guys who did it.

Don't forget, with a stock system you still have the old cable/vacuum heater/ac control, all of the vacuum actuators, worn out foam seals, vacuum lines, etc. All of those things need replacement sooner or later - sometimes replacement more than once.

All electronic is the way to go.

Having said that, my factory R12 system was converted to 134A but I added a salvaged electric fan on a relay from the a/c compressor and it cools very well now. It could still use a cross flow condenser but it is not a daily driver so it is good enough for me.
