Is it  possible to add a 66 style A/C unit to my Spyder?


Roger,
 
You can not put 66 style Ac on your Spyder. The reason has to do  with how 
the air gets into the engine compartment. Late models, 655 and  later, have the 
inlet grill at the back of the rear window and the air enters  the engine 
compartment at the front, where the condenser is mounted. On an early  model, like 
yours, the air enters through the vents in the engine lid.
 
All is not lost, maybe. Clark's has a AC setup for the early model that was  
designed by Rusty Rose. This has a condenser that mounts on the engine lid  
rather than the engine. I'm not sure if it will clear the turbo.
 
Power tops were an option.
