Converting 69 to AC. I have removed everything
So, in a lapse of judgement, I removed the complete interior yesterday in order to por15 the pan/firewall and install sound deadener an.
My questions are these;
1. since I have the complete heating system out, should I convert to AC?
if 1 is yes,
2. Should I go aftermarket
3. Should I find stock or repro?
What cost am I looking at?

I installed the Perfect-Fit from Classic Auto Air. I didn't have any trouble installing it. My car was an AC car so I didn't have to fuss with aftermarket vents and such. Inside the car it looks bone stock. If your car isn't an air car I would swap in the air lower dash and use an air upper dash, the install will look much cleaner. I could have done without air really but I wanted to modernize the under dash components. I paid $1249, bought it from their Ebay store.

If I go classic air, I would have to cut the holes and I am okay with the hole in the dashpad, I am worried about the holes in the lower (Metal) dash on the curved ends.
Anyone drill those and if so, what did you use to not mess up the hole.
I was thinking that I was worried about the, it's not original, but the comfort. WE would have wet backs anywhere we went last year.

Cool....Thanks...
Appears that the Original holes were oval, which I have not paid attention to much. Time to find the vents and maybe bid on this ...
