Hi all,

My understanding this was the way A/C was done in the pre-86 vanagons, and
was done stateside by dealers.  When I ordered my '86 which has the full
length A/C, the dealer tried to pass off a dealer installed pre'86 system.
I did not accept that van, and waited for a factory A/C.

Subject: Strange AC sighting in MD junkyard

Today, while sifting through the local yard, I came upon a watercooled
Vanagon with just a front-ceiling mounted AC unit. Not the normal
full-length unit most commonly seen. Is this a rare item? If so, I could
point some lucky person in the direction to it. Seems like it would be great
for a Westy! They also had a mid-70's bus with a hightop on it, in fairly
good shape. Tons of Audi 5000's with engines still in place.....this
particular yard is known for it's low prices.
