After working with the firewall insulation and punching some holes through the firewall, I was able to get the evaporator/heater core installed with the help of my pals Jim and Gonzo. So far, so good.

Here’s the front of the engine with the A/C compressor (top right), power steering pump (lower right) and alternator (left, hiding behind the fan). Still gotta plumb up the rest of the A/C, and run the electrical and those parts will be good to go.

Got the A/C condenser installed along with the dryer after chasing down some bolt (the kit said to re-use the existing condenser bolts – but this car never had A/C… hmmm).
