<VV> Add on Air

[Brown, David]

Masochists??  I love the heat!  My black over red coupe, w/blk interior
doesn't have air & I won't put it on this car.  Going to the Flagstaff
convention in 02 through Phoenix & Tucson in the middle of the day (120
deg) was interesting.  The wide open floor vents felt like hot air blow
dryers.  The engine never got over 300, though with the head mounted
temp gauge.  When I get a Corvair for my wife, though, it will have to
have AC.

I was drooling over a Marina Blue Corsa 140 in Staten Island on e-bay . 
  I don't know the status on it as the bid ended without the reserve
being met.  It looks like a beautiful car.  The only problem is that
it's a coupe w/o air.  I live in Texas.  Only masochists and nocturnal
drivers dare own a coupe w/o air in these parts.  It got me to thinking,
what would it take to add air to a Corvair besides the obvious
compressor and condenser.  I'm more interested in the $ and %&*@ trouble
to add the duct work and air outlets in the cabin.
