I have a Behr under seat unit still in the box and am going to put it in
with the Bostig conversion...
Any one else with some wisdom about that setup, feel free to chime in..
I will get the rest from a stock setup as needed and have custom hoses made
to connect teh Ferd AC comp to the VW stuff..
Don't really want to get into the dash unless this setup sucks (instead of
blows)...
