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? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
