a/c condensation on windshield
My vette is a 1985. Occasionally I will get some condensation at the lower center of my windshield on the OUTSIDE. Usually happens at slow speed or when sitting in traffic for a very short time. When I start moving again it will clear itself and rarely happens more than once. It seems that I'm getting considerable sweat on the plumbing under the hood, but no icing. The temp of the a/c seems to be cold enough, but I haven't used a thermometer to check it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Its because the windshield is too cold which in turn causes the humidity in the air to condense. Same as leaving a cold can of soda out...the can 'sweats'.
Aside from turning the AC down there's not much you can do.
