[SCG] Re: <Air-Vair> A/C top shrouds

[Larry Claypool]

my experience has been that on late model factory a/c jobs the 65/66   95/110 engines have the air hose on the driver side; all 66 140 hp use the regular right side . perhaps others could comment on factory a/c 67 models as my memory is not clear on which side they were in that year.

  Greg,

  If what you say is correct, then why do the factory instructions for installing A/C into a 1966 car indicate the fresh air hose on the RIGHT side of the car?  This is true for both the Factory installations (per 1966 Assembly manual - page C64) AND for dealer installations (per Dealer A/C installation manual -page 103) ??

  I, too, have wondered about the different shrouds.  I know the fresh air outlet was located on the LEFT for the LM turbo engines, and for some LM A/C engines, but not sure for which dates and/or places of manufacture.

  For that matter, since most LM cars have the vacuum balance tube bent to allow the placement of the fresh air hose on either side, I have wondered why GM went to the bother of making two different top shrouds; why not just make them all with left hand hose outlets?  Seems like it would have saved them money.

  I am copying this to the Stock Corvair Group for further commentary.

    You didn't mention the year. Starting in '66 the air outlet moved to the left side to clear the condenser that covers the air plenum. The air inlet on the right is correct for the earlier cars, the inlet on the left is correct for the '66-67 cars.

            I have two A/C cars, a 110 and a 140.

          The fresh air outlet on the 140 leaves the shroud on the left side, and the same outlet on the 110 leaves the shroud on the right.  Why the difference, or did someone swap things on me.  

          Thanks   Bob Bauer
