The guy who has the 330 America for sale in Dallas told me about a company called vintage
air - vintageair.com - that sells do it yourself ac installation kits. I emailed them and they replied that they had never seen a Ferrari installation with their products, but didn't see a problem and offered to send me a catalog with full specs and scale drawings of the components. I think they are geared to 50's/60's Corvettes, Hot Rods, and muscle cars.
I don't have any problem in installing non-standard components in an older car, even a Ferrari, that will increase its reliability or comfort , as long as the installation is well engineered, inconspicuous and neat, and easy
to remove should a future owner wish to do so. A summer in Dallas, Texas will make you question your sanity for wanting to purchase
a 35 year old car with no air conditioning when the same money would buy a brand new Beemer with every gadget conceivable. Anyway, this is all just talk, since my 330 2+2 now exists only in the realm of imagination .
Thanks to you guys for the other ac links. I will
check them out - I'm going to need AC if I plan to use a future Ferrari for regular driving and continue to live in Texas.
