Good point, but if you are going to do that get an '89 to '91, the early
systems were poor performers.   I'd rather put the in-dash in my $7500 '85
than pay $20k+ for a later vintage that still has an obsolete and backwards
A/C system.  Gotta have that cold air in my face, not a faint breeze on the
back of my neck!

This may, or may not be an option.
Sell your existing '87 and buy one with a good AC already working.� You'd be
$2,000-$5,000 �ahead with money�your not spending�on your '87. It would be
like a credit you apply to the new rig.
I have no idea what type of condition your present unit is in, or what
expenses you've got�into it. Notice I didn't use� the word "investment". If
it is an investment that will make a return for you; go ahead and upgrade.
Unlike me, there are plenty of potential owners that will buy a Westfalia
without AC and the price added for existing AC is near nothing.
