In reference to at least the '66 AC 140 Corsas I parted out the AC parts on a ''66 Corsa  convertible wreck and was surprised at how crudely some of the holes were cut in the body for the AC system.  Especially the holes on the left and right sides of the dash for the cold air outlets.  It was as if the guy doing it was mad at the car.

Dave and I wonder if a few of those engines could have been spares, in case one was need as a replacement. So, the most-conservative way to look at it is: no more than 153 were made -- possibly somewhat fewer.

I own one of the Willow Run factory AC Corsas. I did start a registry years ago but had no info coming in after one or two commented. Yes it is believed there were 153 produced because that's how many engines unique to Corsas with AC were produced. Dave Newell was the person who researched the Tonawanda engine plant information to come up with the number.

Thanks for the info. I believe I did the search correctly, and found no air conditioned Corsa listed. I know they were produced. Does anyone have any info about them? I would be interested in how many were produced, and how many are thought to have survived. Thanks for your help.

It is believed that 153 were built, including WRN and LOS production. I would guesstimate there are at least 50 still around. I have an AB LOS Coupe. I tell people, if they ask, that it is probably one of 30 coupes made in LA. 
They are rare enough that each one is probably very close to the only example  made in that combination at that plant.

I found a generator in my stash. I don't do earlies. What do the 1102226? 3c25 numbers indicate? Somebody want it? Shipping cost only.

Am I the only person to struggle to get enough legroom in these cars? 
(64 convertible). I am 6 ft in my socks. I just had one of the runners 
to bits & it looks like they could be made to slide further back but 
they don't want to play. Some GM magic at work there by the look of it. 
I think I'm going to have to make some adaptor brackets?
