Anyone ever do an AC conversation on a fox?

I wonder what's involved in doing this on a factory no-AC car?

I'm guessing the wiring is there but needs new AC version hvac box, new heater coil, ac pump, etc.... can you even buy new AC parts?

Factory AC stuff is a bolt in.

Could retrofit with "Vintage Air" - replace all the old linkage style switches with new electric they have a lot of cool stuff for after market heat and air

I believe Mustang4 did a conversion from R12 to R134 on his fox - a dealer in Hamilton I think? He had the old system but needed to change over the parts for R134....maybe he'll chime in.

^Usually that just takes a flush and some new fittings.

But yes, if you find a donor it will all just bolt up. You can buy everything new except the box will need to be a boneyard unit.

Just took a flush and new fittings. Currently, though I have some leaks to fix, so no AC working in the fox.
Ford dealer in Burlington did it, back in 2009.

Thanks, I'll start collecting parts to get this mod done...
