Of course opinions vary, but I have never liked the way that the 
cooling air intake had to be compromised to allow the AC to be 
installed. Russ has enough experience with these to explain that 
the engine failure rate is higher on type 3s with AC. It just a matter 
of taking a car with a small air cooled engine, reducing the cooling, 
adding engine load, adding cooling load, and then asking yourself 
what the consequences of this might be.

I didn't know that there were 6V AC units for the type 3. Did you 
have to convert a later one?
