Hey Tb land!
I have been blessed with another project, make my Sister's beautiful '79 a pleasure to drive...wants are: cold A/C (lives in Florida, has toddler), reliable drive-ability (fuel tank rusted), better stereo system (not sure why maybe to drown out toddler), possible +t, and anything and everything else I can fix in the process.
So to get started I am curious where TB land is on recommendations for AC upgrades for South Florida climates.
I read this thread (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=222757) and seems like the late model firewall panel and entire HVAC system was the bee's knees in 2010 and this thread (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=235938) talked a little about evap upgrades using an Explorer unit (although since no one confirmed it would work I am guessing the answer is a "no").
Wanted to see if I missed some more current advice, if it is still "full late model swap" and any one on the west coast want to price out complete kits for me feel free to shoot me a PM. I would consider a pair of kits, my 82 needs some love this year too (B230FT swap and then some)
