74 Ghia Conv with A/C

Hi All,

I'm in the middle of restoring a 74 Ghia conv that has been sitting for years. We're at the point where we're pulling the engine and tranny and noticed it has A/C. Appears to be stock, I can't image this was a common option. It is missing at least the compressor, it appears to have been cut out. Are they still available, or are they as rare as hen's teeth. Should I even bother trying to track down all the stuff I'll need to complete the A/C or should I just bail on it?

Any information is GREATLY appreciated, I have some pics if that would help.

Please reply directly to my email.

Thanks again, Brian snipped-for-privacy@optonline.net

I'd suggest checking out type2.com's articles on AC compressors; there's some information there on replacing them, and that may be relevant to you. Unfortunately for me, the condenser coils are also missing on my squareback; I'd love to be able to install a compressor and use the A/C (the hoses and blowers are still there).
