gotta take the dash out 87 and later, through the glove box will not work (at least not in my 87)


paying the shop 400 to do it monday, good luck to you tho
400 to do a fox heater core with a/c??? ehhh.....not gonna happen around here!!!! try double that......book time for a shop is 8 hrs around here with labor rates getting close to 100 dollars an hour plus if the a/c works..you gotta charge it back up when done and hope it has been converted to 134a cause r -12 around here is a pretty penny if you can still find someone who has some

the restrictor might be a good idea.
