Dana,

I've done it.  It is a very big job.  Very big.  I got an a/c system
from a 91 westy and put it in my 87.  You basically have to pull the
entire interior out.  I'm exagerating but you do have to pull the rear
cabinet, roof-bed, side shelves, etc.  The wiring isn't easy either.
This is especially interesting if/when you upgrade the radiator fan.
People say not to bother with this upgrade but it does help the a/c's
system performance so I think it's worthwhile.

Did I mention it's a big job?

Damian
