<VV> '69 A/C Install (Here was the problem)

[Taruffi57 at aol.com]

After losing about 5 days progress chasing this issue, and after a long  
chat with Mark Corbin last night, we finally realized that the Installation  
Instructions I bought from Clark's were for CLARK'S kit - which uses a 
different  Evaporator/Blower than the original Chevy components.  I am using LM  
FACTORY Chevy parts except for the front-mount condenser and a Sanden 
compressor  with Clark's 4 carb. mount.  That explains why there was not one word 
about  cutting the bulkhead holes (2) for the Blower Assy.  
 
In looking at Clarks' Specialty Catalog - A/C section, I found NO reference 
 to the fact that IF you are using the OEM components, you will need the GM 
 Dealer A/C instruction booklet - which Clark's sells over in their Main  
catalog.  I'll wager that I am not the first to buy this manual thinking it  
included how to use OEM parts.
While we all know that w/o Cal & Joan, we would be up s_ _t  creek, I think 
a bold typed Notice on the first page of the Specialty/A/C  catalog would 
make it clear to dummies like me that They need to buy X-Y-Z - if  they are 
using Clark's A/C kit and A-B-C if they are using OEM  components.  Does Cal 
read V V ?
 
Jim Houston was kind enough to donate to me the Chevy Dealer install  
booklet.  The Clark's templates I had ordered are the same as what he also  sent 
me.  Thanks, Jim.
 
So now, I'll try and locate all of the little "dimple" drill & cut  points 
- and hope I don't end up with this thing cooling the trunk  
area..................
