Before reconditioning my under dash A/C I had dreamt of combining the heater
box with the A/C and making it all one unit. This would have been ideal. I
even still have hopes of feeding the A/C cold air into the heater box, but I
fear that may be a lost cause as well.

I would say your unit has quite a bit of value. They're rare and fit where
an A/C unit should be. Under the dash. Before I did my engine swap and was
still running on a air cooled engine I had thought of removing it and
selling it as well. Even had people willing to come over and remove it for
me. I really glad I didn't do it now.

Kinda crude you might say, but I value the music and easy access to radio
controls much more than the under-dash AC.

So - I moved the ducts out of the way, and the radio is where it belongs.
Some cold air still comes out, but with global warming making our winters
warm and our summers cold, who needs it?

By the way - is there enough value in the AC system that it would be worth
it for me to remove and sell it?

thanks,

All,

I've got an issue with my current stereo location. It stinks. Since I've got
the under dash A/C unit  the normal in dash location for the stereo is
consumed by vents, so the stereo was placed facing the ceiling in front of
the stick shift. This has worked ok, but with time the holder has cracked
and now it's time to figure out a new solution. Seems an ideal solution
would be a way of mounting it where the ashtray. Has anyone come up with
solution?
