AC Controller
Getting ready to dig into the dash and do some modifications, and noticed the faceplate on my AC controller is delaminating from age. This is the single zone unit in a '99 FRC. Doing a parts search, the only controller shown is p/n 16254311, which appears to be the dual zone unit, and that I understand will not work in the car. Is the single zone controller NLA? TIA.

I had to get an upgraded bracket that had an old and new number. Also a GM dealer will have old and new numbers.

That'd work if he had that type of controller and that was the issue he was having....

Talked to the dealer today and the correct numbers are GM 10447750 and AC Delco 15-72690, with a list of slightly north of $500. They are indeed NLA. Been Googling around and some parts houses that specialize in Delco have them for the low to middle $200s. Plan on ordering one. Another part abandoned by GM. And again this is the MANUAL controller found in FRCs and some Z06s (I think), not the dual zone.
