<VV> '69 A/C Install (Here was the problem)

All,

Clark's lists the GM Accessory Installation Instructions on page 246 for the early cars and page 247 for late cars. The a/c instructions are therein, as part #C4976 for earlies and C4980 for lates. They are also listed in the A/C Section of the Specialty catalog on page AC-10, along with the GM template set #C11530. Note that the first nine pages of the A/C Section are for Clark's aftermarket system ONLY!

Anyone needing help on a FACTORY LM system can email me privately. I will be glad to be of any assistance needed. However, at present I have limited email capabilities and only a cell phone (on which I am charged for minutes used, even on incoming calls) so please respect these temporary limitations. Thanks.

-Mark
