Baking Powder?

Did you say the front AC units are found in air cooled Vanagons? I have
prowled the archives quite a bit and never learned that. What about the
older bay window or Kombi vans? Do you know if they also had a front AC
system?

Thanks

ample discussion on this matter in the archives. Most people yank out the AC
from aircooled vans to add front AC in their late model Westies. I picked up
a couple of the evaporator/blower assemblies form used parts sources. I am
using this for my AC in the Doka project.
