<VV> three fan belt Corvairs

[Thompson, Ed (MKE x1231)]

As kind of a segue from the Corsa / Spyder, 3-speed thread (in the sense of an oddity), '67 Vairs built for original sale in California, equipped with factory A/C, had three fan belts -- motor, smog and A/C.  They had to be 95 or 110 hp, as a 140 and A/C was available in '66 model year only cars.  '66 "California Vairs" with factory A/C were exempt from smog equipment., so they had "just" two belts, with '66 California Corsa turbo cars, also smog exempt, having just the one belt.  I think I have all of these quirky details correct, but perhaps not.  Personally, I've only ever seen one '67 A/C "California Vair" with three belts, at a Chicago Club meeting, I think in the mid-90's, a lot of "plumbing" as I recall!  With less than 1,400 A/C Vairs built in the entire '67 model year run, and perhaps just 10 - 20% going  to California dealers, there are likely few, if any, (factory) 3-belt Vairs still around?
