AC Restore - How too?
It's a 1970. The engine is out. The interior passenger dash boards, etc is out. Since it's a 70, I have the louvers behind the front wheels out so I have relatively more access to the AC stuff. Just removing the AC blower motor looks like a problem since some of the screws are out of sight. I've pulled the carpet back on the interior and can see some of the screws that bolt the air conditioner plenum in. For now, I'm just going to have to blindly just start unbolting things. Any suggestions? Thanks
Major work on the A/C system is a 'challenge', to be sure. Keep the faith!

If memory serves me correctly, to remove the outer box (engine side) all bolts except one are removed from the engine compt side. There is one that removes from the interior, on my 69 it was the lowest corner next to engine. I did check *** Manual and kind of remember that was correct.

I will double check all my ppieces laying around to verify, but I do know my inner box is still inside.

AIM (69) shows inner box with studs that protrude through firewall and the outer box is secured by nuts on those studs. I did see at least one area that a bolt/screw goes from eng compt into interior, it was down around the blower area. AND WE ALL KNOW THE AIM DOES NOT LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
