<VV> A/C Suggestions (Eric Holte)

[airvair]

Since you are not worried about being stock, I'd recommend a combination 
of stock and aftermarket parts. The dash and trunk parts, with the 
exception of maybe the dehydrator, are best left stock, as nothing fits 
as well as stock. A good second choice would be something that fits snug 
to the bottom of the dash. Also use the '66-7 style firewall-mounted 
condensor, as that gets it out of your way in the engine compartment. 
Just remember that it depends upon having the compartment well-sealed. 
Then use an aftermarket compressor like a Sankyo. The only hitch is that 
with a 140, there's almost no escaping interference with a spare tire. 
There just is virtually no room for ANY kind of compressor with the 
secondary carb in the way. But go with a throwaway spare in the trunk.

If you need more help, post me offline.
