I have an 85 Westy Automatic, CA emissions, with AC.

Here's a pic of what mine looks like behind the radiator fan: http://xochi.com/vanagon/hotfoot

The pipe insulation is mine. However, the spray foam is not...I'll go out on a limb here and guess that the spray on foam is not OEM?

Do I have some parts missing, perhaps?
