Thanks Mark. Good to know.

My original thought was to make good use of the AC compressor that c/w
the Jetta 2.0 I installed in my Westy. (assuming compressor works) I
would cobble together the remaining Jetta AC parts.

But, I'll bet that the stock Jetta AC wouldn't so a very good job of
cooling a larger interior space like a Vanagon. Especially if
installed under the rear seat.

Neil.
