[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3898995, member: 15054"] I converted that car a few years ago to have a homemade ac system from an Isuzu Axiom. It all fit under the dash. I did remove the bulky eye sore junk GM hung outside on the firewall. That deleted my heater and I did not get the heater box from the Axiom. Too much bulk and air mix doors to even want it. The other day i decided to install a heater core and it had to be kind of small and kind of inexpensive. Orielly I searched heater core and searched by lowest to highest price and found a 1979 Ford F250 Truck with Ac looked to have the right size and right at 35 bucks. Took me barely 45 minutes to fab a mount and drain radiator and hook up coolant lines, fill radiator and test. I could change it out in 5 minutes or less if I had to change it. Works great. The whole under dash area gets filled with hot moving air and it blows out the windshield vents. Face and legs are toasty and dash gets toasty. I only have high speed on the blower motor so I will remove the motor speed controller off my homemade electric bicycle and add it to the 57 to get variable speed blower. And was given an old radio with stems to go in the dash ..it was for a mustang and the cassette player opening has horses on it but I do not care. It sounds pretty good. Heat ---Air and a radio in the dash. I am shittin in tall cotton. :) [/QUOTE]
