<VV> A/C Adventures Continue

[Lon Anderson]

Bill, 
Since he had referenced the '66 shop manual, I just guessed he was working on a '66... and unless it has been modified from STOCK, a 66 or later with A/C will not run the compressor without the lid being closed... due to said mercury switch referenced in earlier post.
;-)
Just sayin'...

Well, it depends whether you have a '65 or '66 style condenser.  The '65 style 
sits on top of the engine so the blower pulls air through it whether the deck 
lid is open or closed, but the '66 style requires a closed lid and sealed engine 
compartment. So Timothy's answer would be correct for the latter style.

there is a mercury ground switch hooked to the compressor so it cannot run with 
the deck lid up (which keeps the cooling air going through the condensor)... 
Other than that, your post is good.
