[Mgs] MG practicality

[rolindsay at yahoo.com]

Bob, I will be able to tell you that in a couple of months. I'm putting A/C in my '61 Mercedes Ponton. It has a whopping 68hp in a heavier car. I'll use the old Chevy Vega trick of a full throttle switch that disconnects the compressor clutch when you need WOT power.

   I' am curious about the AC, though not needing or wanting one for my
cars in New England.
   How much power does it take to run the thing?  How well does it cool
and lower humidity?
   20 years ago I was beside a rubber-bumper Midget at a stoplight in
Sarasota FL.  It had an AC that must have been making great amounts of
cold, as there was condensation all over the top, windshield and door
windows; the condensation was on the outside surface. One wonders how
much power was available at the rear wheels.
