My mechanic has completely rebuilt an '84 GL and I will own it in a
couple of weeks.  (In fact he asked me to make sure he sees it after I
break it in for 500 miles.)  This is a 'plain jane' GL, no AC or other
fancy stuff.  Does anyone know if an AC system can be retrofitted to
this?  Or will I have to buy a window mount evaporative cooler from RMMW
for it for about $500?  Answers would be appreciated and thanks in
advance.
