Has anyone successfully installed another manufacturer's HVAC into their 40 [or other older car]? The reason I ask is that aftermarket HVAC like Vintage Air is quite expensive. In Aus it'll be $2500 complete. However, pulling a system from a recently wrecked car would be far cheaper. Questions I have;
1. Who has done it, if at all?
2. I have a carbed Holden engine [for now] with an idle up switch, will there be issues if the HVAC unit is from an EFI car? It will be replaced by a later generation of Holden engine [with EFI] in about 12 months.
3. Will there be any issues with the two brands 'talking' to each other? To my understanding these are mostly mechanical systems, not high-end electrical.
4. Is there anything I'm missing?
Cheers and keep on truckin.
