 On that note does anyone have any T3 A/C info?
 MY recently purchased '69 has a dealer installed Meier~Line under dash
 unit installed, but other than the owners manual I
 know nothing..........
 
 The compressor (?) is no longer mounted in the engine bay, but the fan
 housing has been adapted for it and/or the A/C belt.
 Under the car there is a fan with some PO smashed ducted work, and the
 coil. All of the plumbing runs up on the passengers
 side by the foot rest (this made installing new carpet a pain........)

See my reply to a previous e-mail. The single-belt system never worked, at 
least for me. The belt had a short life of about 50 miles. the two-belt 
system was what I used on my 1964 Type 34. A long ratchet-looking nut running 
off the crankshaft let the
crank and generator connect. Then a second belt running off the crank and 
connecting to the A/C compressor runs the A/C. The latter system was VW's 
solution to the problem of a A/C on a Type 3. Those ratchet-like nuts are 
still available as used items. Try advertising on www.oroad.com/volkswebbin
