These are all things I didnt realize. Im seeing now that if I finish my rebuild and keep the heater setup I have as a temporary fix for a year or two Ill have to remove the heater and hoses, put in a delete plate, remove the passenger vent assembly and put in a delete plate, and of course remove the pull knob for thrift heater and put in the new 3 slider assembly Im restoring. The radiator removal and condenser install has me wondering if I will have enough room to include the VA condenser or if I have to buy a new radiator as well. Ill include a [pic of what it looked like prior to the tear down.

This may answer the above question.

. GA summers sometimes sees the triple digits, more commonly mid nineties and with the humidity theres nearly always been a sweaty back thing happening against the seat which I am hoping the VA will resolve.
