Hey folks,

On to the other project.

JLO is getting heat and a/c courtesy of Renegade Hybrids. My motor and tranny should be showing up in the next 3 weeks, so I've got to get busy pulling things out of the car and cutting.

Anyone have pics of their heater and / or AC install? Im most interesting in the on/off switching and how everything was plumbed into the cabin (materials, fittings, etc.)

In the next 10 days I should be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) on her beautiful little body.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

My RH installed heater is just as George described. It's my understanding that the Rh Heat-A/C unit is a typical hot rod setup, not plumbed to the stock airbox.

My thoughts on each:
Heater only, stock controls - good, heated defrost - good, loss of fresh air to vent system - bad.
Heater-A/C, heat and A/C together can dehumidify your interior and reduce fogging - good, not connected to the defrost vents - bad.

I keep thinking that there's got to be some way to install heat in the stock system including fresh air and then use one of the 914 underdash DI units for air. That way it would look and act like stock.
The trick is how to get waterheated air blowing into the warm air input to the stock airbox. Still thinking...
