This AC puzzle is going to be fun (insert sarcasm). I bought the unit for the interior in 2005. It is the cable version VA offered and uses my stock AC controls. The downside is making connections from the evaporator to the firewall is going to be a challenge for room. I bought the VA hose kit, but I am finding that very few of the fittings will work for what I need to do. I'm not sure I like the compressor fittings and the service ports. Going to be a lot of trial and error.
