Clark's sells the instructions and templates for installing stock LM Corvair A/C systems.  I used them to install a stock system on my son's 1965 convertible. It is a time consuming process but it is quite within the ability of the average Corvair mechanic.  I used drills and an air-saw to cut all the holes

Clarks Part # ----- Description
C11530--------------A/C Templates for '65-'69
C4980---------------Installation Instructions for '66 style A/C
C11453--------------Repro Center Vent Bezel (check availability)

Much more detail and additional parts in current Specialty catalog page AC-10

Most of the stock A/C parts and information were supplied to Clark's by Mark Corbin, President of Air Vairs.

I'm sure it can be done. But be sure to get ALL the pieces from the donor car. It seems I remember a car that had the stock A/C system that had rubber hoses instead of the copper pipes. I'm not sure of any advantages or disadvantages of doing this but I know this car did not have any copper pipes. But it was a stock Corvair installed kit. As far as cutting the center duct hole in the dash, is there a "good" template available? It seems some of the cutting was done with cutting torches or worse? Any suggestions on cutting this hole?

Not needing A/C right now!
