Your simplest option might be to find an old swamp cooler and just use it. It will actually work pretty well in Phoenix. The downside might be that they seem to have some collector value, so that a functional one might be both hard to find and expensive. OTOH, a real AC unit for your car would also be hard to find and expensive, plus it would put a load on the engine that you REALLY don't want to do. -- **************************************** Jim Adney Madison, Wisc., USA **************************************** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
