[Healeys] Air conditioning?

[WBagby45]

Vintage Air in San Antonio, Texas makes units that will fit any application.  They are very helpful and are familiar with sizing needed for a Healey.

Will the NOS original AC work properly with modern refrigerants as the

Better to use and modify a modern unit, perhaps using some original 
under dashboard components. These units should work properly and will 
have a far more reliable compressor. There are plenty of cars to choose 
from. Best would probably be some unit from a small Japanese car (sorry).

the salesman guide and showroom material. This was a very rare option and not 
many were sold. I have just installed a factory system in my BJ8 with the help 
of Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro NC. I have also assumed the duties of 
maintaing the registry that was started by Pat Yoas in the 80's. I have one 
remaing complete system NOS still in orignal boxes as well as all literature 
associated with the unit. They were actually produced by Coolaire of Miami, 
but they also had a plant in Luton England. According to Pat Y, who discussed 
the unit with Donald, told him that several were installed at the factory. 
Since each unit has its own serial number, we have record of cars installed 
with a/c.  Recently we believe we uncovered the earliest production unit based 
on recorded serial numbers. I will be glad to discuss the units and my 
installation with you if you would like to contact me off list.
