A gentleman named "autowiz", who works in a shop near West Palm Beach FL and posted in another forum during 2016 has done a number of VA installs into 78-82 C3's, to the extent that he made a template for use in a 3D printer for an adaptor to use the VA 3 **** control head in place of the stock control head. Other posts on the other forum detail the entire process (with many pictures!) of installing the VA unit into 78-82 C3's.
PM me for the name of the other forum, and with any other questions you may have. Be happy to help.

Do you have an update? I have a '70 that came to me with the AC not functional and also deciding which route to go.
Still cool out but plan to have the system evaluated soon. I'm not expecting the original equip to be in great cond.
Thanks
