on the ac delete.

I just did this to my 1973 and I'm stumped on the wiring.
I searched for some wiring instructions but nothing turned up. Could you tell me what you did?

Thank's.

Very nice!

My AC has not worked in years. I was going to fix it or replace it. But I never used it when it did work, so not worth the money. Taking it out now just seems like more of a hassle than I'm willing to put time into.

I hardly ever use the AC in my 07 Malibu. Heater is a different story.

I've removed the heavy stuff on mine, but I need to finish and get rid of the box. Your car is inspiration, I love how you did that

sorry, while my ownership of a C3 Corvette would suggest that I'm a glutton for punishment; really, I'm not - my car will remain on its frame
