Air Conditioning???

Is anyone here running A/C on their GL? If so, what type are you running and what would you recommend for a newbie building a powerplant in an area where A\C is a MUST???? Planning on using TYPE4 powerplant.....

There's a company called ICE. I don't know what it stands for or where they are located. I read their system is fairly efficient and offers less power drain when running than typical a/c units for a/c cars. Hmmm. Anyway, I did a search and came up fairly empty. I must have read about ICE in a different forum. Sorry I'm not more help.

Aircooled.net has a kit that is supposed to be solid. Jake even sells brackets to mount their compressor (Gilmore) on a type 4 engine. Complete package. I am planning on doing this sometime next year. Let us know if you do this and please post pics.

Here's the link to Btlmex's system. It's $1500, and only works on 73-79 cars. I imagine that means Supers only.

I guess the price went up since I last looked. I don't believe it is for supers, as they dealt strictly with Mexican Beetles, which were ALL standard.

You're probably right. I always think of supers when I see 73-79.
