Hi Mike,

At this point it would take me putting all the A/C stuff I tore out of the
van back in there.  I only used my A/C a couple times in the past 6 years,
so I went for the extra storage in the overhead cabinet instead of hooking
up the A/C to the Zetec.  I do know that you can add A/C with the Zetec
without too much trouble though.  I think it is about a $500.00 option (plus
$50 or so for a good used compressor) for vans that had OEM air
conditioning.

Hi Jay,

It "Appears" you might have had air conditioning before the conversion.
  If so, have you looked into what it would take to get that set up again?
