Subject:Front Overhead AC Modified for a Westy?
From:Tom Buese
Date:Mon, 2 Apr 2007 15:39:09 -0600

I ran across a complete overhead ac in a 84 vanagon in a local junque
yard last weekend. I know, I know I am supposed to stay out of those
tawdry places, but I couldn't help myself.   I believe it was the
same one being discussed on the list last week.  Anywho, I looked at
getting it for my westy, but there were some obvious things that
wouldn't work in a westy such as the location of the overhead unit/
conflict w/ poptop location, conflict w/ drivers side piping furr-out
on B pillar & sink cabinet, etc.

Has anyone installed this unit in a westy?  Can it be modified to fit
w/ o hacking the westy?  What's a unit like this worth?  Is it a
reasonable substitute for a Behr, which I had/sold as I didn't want
to modify my radio, loose my fresh air???

Thanks,
