Oh, Behr with me. Of course, aircooled Vanagons came with AC. There is ample discussion on this matter in the archives. Most people yank out the AC from aircooled vans to add front AC in their late model Westies. I picked up a couple of the evaporator/blower assemblies form used parts sources. I am using this for my AC in the Doka project.

As I mentioned to you via pmail and also by my earlier van for sale posting, this aircooled van comes equipped with the rare Behr AC. That was a factory and dealer option IIRC.

Suppose I can take some pics tomorrow just for the halibut.
