A/C or no A/C?

Our 1970 Matador was w/o AC for 6 years in FL. That is suffering. It was just a blown blower fuse. My dad had looked at it and "looked OK", so put it back. The wire was melted inside right at the cap where he couldn't see. That is common in FL since corrosion in the fuse-holder generates heats which fails the fuse and not from excessive current. He finally got a tip to replace the fuse w/ a resettable breaker type, and AC worked fine.

The Chrysler RV2 is a beast, so much that AC cars got thicker torsion bars. A Sanden compressor is much smaller and more efficient and would look nicer. Add a parallel-flow condenser and will be even more so. Search for the long post on AC options for the slant. One is a 1978 Volare Sanden w/ brackets.
