The "under-dash" evaporator is like the old GM "hang-on" accessory A/C units; they had a chrome face with the outlets, and hung down between the bottom of the dash and the tunnel.

Ford had the same type of 'hang down' unit as shown in my '66 Mustang. I can't imagine them in a C1 or C2 so I think they must have an alternative arrangement.

Getting ready to order the a kit.

Going to do the wiper system also or first before I put all the stuff in the way. I've read all the threads on it. I like a challenge and technical work, I need a project to keep me busy. I think I should upgrade my alternator to more than 45 amps and need more info on putting a solenoid on the carb for the bump in rpm at idle.

The Classic Auto Air is the one I'm looking at. The Hot Rod air looks good too.
