One of my many "imaginary projects to entertain on sick days" is an upgrade
to the stupid cable-driven flaps and valves on the Vanagon climate control
system. I have all sorts of web sites bookmarked for either vacuum or
electric powered 5/8" coolant flow valves and airflow diverter servos.  I'm
still looking for a control panel that'll fit. Haven't been to pick a part
lately. My most ridiculous notion on the subject has been to divert the AC
output to the SIDES, where the speakers are, then pipe it to the rearmost
body vent there above the windows, which would allow the cold air to come
out the regular front vents, like a "real car". Closing off the intake to
prevent outside air intrusion might be a nightmare though....
