Things have slowed down for me at work, so I am glad to re-join this
wonderful list.

I have an 84 Westy which I love.  I runs beautifully and everything works
well -- even the (rear) AC.
I am looking for ideas for getting all that cold air up to the front. I'd
like to find some way that looks decent, doesn't interfere with using the
poptop, and actually does what is intended.  Any ideas? I have thought about
different ways of running a duct.  Maybe run something up the shelf on the
drivers side near the roof.   Or, could one use vents off a later model that
would at least bring the air up to the front edge of the bottom of the upper
bunk?  Maybe there's a way to use the (mostly useless) fresh air vents that
run along the passenger side by reversing the air flow.  I don't know how
the air distribution works, but wouldn't it be cool (punny, huh) to force
cold air into the fresh air vents at the rear, then by moving the vent
controls in a certain way, have the cold air forced out through the heater
(or whatever) vents up front?

By the way, it doesn't help that lots of warm air leaks in through the front
vents.  I think the seals went last summer during a high speed trip through
the deserts of New Mexico.  What are the chances of being able to fix this
problem?

One other thing...  How normal is it for the AC to emit a sort of moan that
is directly related in pitch/loudness to the RPM of the engine?  I think
it's coming from the receiver/drier and only when the AC clutch is engaged.

Any insights will be greatly appreciated.
