Chris,

I've been meaning to photograph this and many other detail modifications to
my Westfalia including the conversion details but two problems arise: 1.
Always another crisis, and 2. No website to place them on. This weekend, as I
finish some final stereo touches, I'll generate some pictures for anyone
interested.

The effort was somewhat anal-compulsive, but I usually devote Saturdays to
this extended hobby. Installing the A/C took about 3 days after the
engineering decisions had been made. Replacing the vents on the gas tank was
much more difficult! Besides the main reason I converted the diesel to gas
was the need to add an A/C to get SWMBO to comfortably accompany me on our
sojourns.
