<VV> Corvair A/C Question

[John O'Shea]

I stripped the factory A/C system now in my 65 from a damaged 66.  Like 
Shortle, the trunk cutouts in the 66 looked like they had been burned out 
with a torch.  Really messy.  The 66 was definitely a factory install 
because the spare tire mount in the trunk was spot welded in place.  The 
dealer installed A/C did not have a spot welded spare tire mount.
Enjoying another warm, sunny afternoon in Las Vegas.  No snow here.
