I have one of the Behr units that Robert removed in my 90 Syncro Westy.
He's right....Its a Behr to remove..... AND a Behr to put in...but it
works...

It has two big squirrel cage fans that move a lot of air..at least from the
passenger side vent and the center vent....not much from the driver's side
vent...but it's nice to have that much air blowing on you from the front.
It draws its air supply from under the dash ...no outside vent...so it
takes a while to cool down air thats heated up in a closed van...but once
it does it works well.

Its old technology...like a lot of other Vanagon equipment...its big and
you lose about 1/2 your glovebox and the center vents go into your radio
slot...and there's a lot of hose and fittings that go from the engine bay
to the front of the van so lots of opporunity for leaks....  My hoses
leaked after only a few months of being installed....and I'm having to have
some new ones made.

If I was looking to install front air...I would get newer technology...but
since you've got it...keep it....the labor to remove it isn't worth what
you can get for it.

By the way...Larry Chase's system isn't a Behr system...its another system
installed by European Cooler Air in Dallas, TX...don't know who makes the
components.

The ECA evaporator/fan unit is new technolgoy, much smaller than the Behr
and can be installed without removing the dashboard...which is nice....But
Larry had mixed reviews on his installation right after it was
done....although I haven't seen any comments on it in his travel
reports....either negative or positive on its long term use.

Larry...how about a long term use report on your system.
