It appears that someone who owned my 1985 Tercel wagon before me had BEGAN an installation of an A/C.
That's the best I can come-up with for the missing pipes and compressor.
The owner's brother, who told me how frosty-cold the A/C was when he was in it all those years the family owned it, seems to be mistaken.
I went to the junk yard and appraised what the whole A/C system consisted of, the second fan and condenser to the right of the radiator, the different-looking compressor, the squirrel cage under the glove box, the on/off switch... If there ever was an air conditioner in that car, it was far from the conventional, and I never suspected it was factory.
Somebody just went shopping under my hood, but I don't care, I'm going after that whole system that Toyota designed for the car.
How much would you say a good price would be for the works out of a junk yard? As I alluded to, I found the whole system.
