I'm preparing to help a friend install air conditioning in his 1969 1750 GTV. The plan is to mount the unit in the trunk and vent into the cabin via the parcel shelf. I wasn't able to find any recent threads about BB'ers installing A/C and even found a few threads where guys abandoned their systems for simplicity. Have any of these common issues been sorted out?
-A/C condensor in front of stock radiator creates too much of an obstruction and makes the engine run hot.
-Alternator needs to be uprated appropriately for A/C components.
-Stock wiring harness cannot support the increased amperage a modern alternator generates.
-Engine idle speed must be manually adjusted for when the A/C is active vs when inactive.
-Relocate the battery to the trunk to free up space in engine bay for compressor.
Please let me know if anyone has had success recently installing A/C in their GTV. Thanks in advance.
